This book through the examination of published and unpublished materials investigates the British and more specifically Lord Louis Mountbatten's decisive role in instigating the Kashmir dispute during the period 1947-48. It analyses in some detail the factors affecting key decisions during this period and explores if other options were available to Lord Mountbatten to prevent what has become an elongated and deadly conflict. It is strongly recommended for anybody interested in the history of perhaps the worlds most precarious conflict-one that has the potential to instigate a nuclear war with horrific consequences for nearly 1.5 billion people.
