«India and Pakistan have fought three wars since the Partition of the Subcontinent in 1947, but because of a shared history and culture, there are similarities between the two armies. ‘Warriors after War’ is a fascinating collection that illustrates this remarkable bond and underlines the need to humanize each other and work towards a more peaceful South Asia.» (Ambassador Akbar Ahmed, Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies, American University, Washington, DC)<br /> «This is a timely study, which illuminates key episodes in India and Pakistan’s enduring rivalry since 1947 [...]. The extensive interviews with twenty-six former Indian and Pakistani officers reveal the centrality and intractability of the Kashmir issue for regional peace. The interviews are enhanced with biographical notes along with a comprehensive introduction and conclusion.» (Professor Ian Talbot, Head of History, University of Southampton)<br /> «This is an interesting book which offers views, insights and analyses of the relations between India and Pakistan through the interviews with top 26 ex-military officials from both the nations. [...] Since these officials have been major stakeholders in history of relations between the two nations, thus, naturally it provides very insightful comments and suggestions regarding the bilateral relationship. This book could prove to be a useful collection for those officials, researchers, students as well as general readers who wish to understand the complexities involved in India-Pakistan relations and are in search for some appropriate and good answers.» (Sanjeev Kumar Shrivastav, Journal of Defence Studies)
