Produktbeschreibung

There seems to be no end to the growing number of victims of terrorism, guerrilla warfare and military repression on the Indian subcontinent, despite the absence of interstate wars. These conflicts often involve armed paramilitary militias or insurgents of one sort or other. This book investigates their ideology, sociology and strategies.
