East Asia.
Abstrak
In the last few years, South Asia experts have come out with a number of important works that shed new light on several episodes in the strategic history of India; for example, Bruce Riedel’s JFK’s Forgotten Crisis: Tibet, CIA and Sino-Indian War or Srinath Raghavan’s 1971: A Global History of the Creation of Bangladesh. Latest addition to this growing array of literature is Bertil Lintner’s book, China’s India War. Lintner is a journalist specializing in regional security issues in Asia and has a long experience of reporting from, and travelling in, South and South East Asia. The book under review derives its title from another wellknown book on the Sino-Indian War of 1962 written by Neville Maxwell. In India’s China War, Maxwell had placed blame squarely on India for the war and absolved China of all responsibilities. Maxwell’s book was read by influential personalities like Henry Kissinger and was significant in setting the unfair narrative regarding the India–China border dispute. However, Lintner argues that “Maxwell’s version of the events leading up to the 1962 War did not stand up to any serious scrutiny” and manages to convincingly counter Maxwell’s version and interpretation of events leading up to the War.
