This is one of those rare books that puts an entirely new light on a chapter of history, and it must be read by anyone concerned with international affairs. Although cool and scholarly it unrolls like a fascinating thriller. It is an important work of revisionist history and a gruesome study of the way in which wars start, superbly documented (largely from official Indian sources but also from secret Indian papers) and beautifully sustained. By showing how India led the world up the garden path it demolishes and throws to the wind a pillar of the ‘contain China’ doctrine — the belief that in 1962 India was the victim of unprovoked Chinese aggression. Maxwell’s book is magnificent on every count, an historical achievement of the first rank.
