India & Its NeighboursBook note
The Strategy Trap
Description. A short description of a book from my bookshelf, not a review.
Lieutenant General Prakash Menon examines India and Pakistan under the nuclear shadow. He argues that India's reliance on conventional military punishment to deter Pakistani terrorism carries escalation risks, and that a more political, less military approach is needed.
The book is thoughtful and challenges conventional wisdom within the Indian military. Its value lies in how it connects nuclear deterrence, limited war and national strategy.
