This is America’s War on Terror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet this War on Terror is in reality an imperialist war that seeks to make the world secure for global economic and strategic interests of the United States. This war seeks to reorder the world through imperialist expansion. The military occupation of Iraq in March 2003 signals only a stage in this ongoing war. It signals also the application of the new doctrines that the Bush administration has championed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNinan Koshy makes a meticulous scrutiny of official documents and statements, and shows how the military might of the US is actually used to buttress globalization, that is, the sway of multinational capital. He also demonstrates how military occupation is intrinsic to the expansion of the American empire. Koshy makes the point that the main theatre of the War on Terror is Asia, from West to North East, and includes Central, South and South East Asia. He also puts forward a sharp critique of the policy followed by New Delhi, which involves the calculated dismantling of the entire rationale of non-alignment and the edifice of an independent foreign policy, as well as the subjugation of India’s national interests to US war plans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat we are witnessing today is the demise of the world order that emerged after the Second World War.

But nuclear weapons gave it a unique, if apocalyptic, dimension of deterrence through mutually assured destruction, aptly called MAD. The Cold War bestowed on it the quality of grand strategy linking as it did, deterrence with arms control and strategic stability. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThus, while deterrence was pursued through threat of causing grievous hurt vying with annihilation, diplomacy sought to construct a framework where the powerful sought to retain their advantage while  pressing for reducing that of the adversary or completely denying it to others. And this came to be termed non-proliferation, keeping its vertical dimension outside any questioning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWherever and whenever an adversary required the ability to counter superior capabilities, arms control acquired the shape of strategic stability through diplomatic negotiations. But all this was easier during the bipolar confrontation of the Cold War, and with its end, they lost their original context. To a large extent, the arms control and non-proliferation regime so painstakingly crafted and negotiated during the past five-odd decades started to be obsolescent in the emerging multilateral strategic environment. And, hence, the drift toward unilateralism, whether formally declared or not.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, nuclear deterrence has been undergoing changes due to the increasing vulnerability of states and society in a globalizing and increasingly interdependent world. Recognising the fundamentally political nature of the role of nuclear weapons, China and India evolved an approach to nuclear deterrence quite different from that adopted by others. And they seem to have succeeded equally well so far, with unquestionably lower costs and risks. Written by two leading experts in the field, this book explores the changes taking place in nuclear deterrence and diplomacy at the beginning of the 21st century, especially as they related to India and its security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcronyms \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDefence in a Period of Change\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNuclear Deterrence and Arms Control\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe NPT: An Indian Perspective\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIndia’s Stake in the CTBT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFMCT: The Last of Nuclear Arms Control?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBallistic Missile Defences: Whither Nuclear Deterrence?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeaponisation of Outer Space\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReducing Nuclear Weapons, increasing Nuclear Dangers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevaluing Nuclear Weapons: Difficult, But Desirable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFuture of Nuclear Deterrence: Credibility and Consequences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNuclear Doctrine for Defence\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisarmament in India’s Nuclear Strategy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Jasjit Singh \/ Knowledge World \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776270282921,"sku":"12545","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/12545_415cc594-b54d-47fa-ada7-43e8a0fb9287.jpg?v=1625567716"},{"product_id":"13661-the-world-according-to-washington-an-asian-view","title":"The World According To Washington -An Asian View","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Patwant Singh\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Rupa\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2004\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 224\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8129104768\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUS intervention in Asia over the last 55 years has contributed to the deaths of over 10 million people, yet the developed world hears little of the price Asians have paid for the furtherance of American interests on their continent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this challenging, widely documented book the distinguished Indian writer Patwant Singh describes in graphic detail not only the catastrophic trail of shattered lives and environmental destruction left behind by these actions, but also the degree to which Washington betrayed its liberationist ideals and cherished beliefs in pursuit of its imperial ambitions.

He warns that self-esteem and national pride are not the exclusive prerogatives of privileged nations, and Asians, too, will increasingly oppose the arbitrary actions of the US and its allies.

If so, where are they? Are they in the hands of al Qaeda sleeper cells in the United Sates? Should Americans be bracing for a nuclear attack?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormer consultant for the FBI on organized crime and international terrorism and a seasoned investigative reporter, Paul L Williams reveals the potential for nuclear terrorism on US soil in this shocking expose. Based on the findings of US, Israeli, Pakistani, and British intelligence, Williams describes how the theft of tactical nuclear weapons from Russian arsenals have in all likelihood made their way to al Qaeda cells throughout the united States in preparation for the next terrorist attack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliams presents clear evidence showing that, in the chaos following the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Chechen Mafia got its hands on portable Russian nuclear weapons. Between 1996 and 2001, mafia members negotiated the sale of twenty nuclear suitcase bombs to representatives of Osama bin Laden. Far worse than so-called dirty bombs, each suitcase bomb is capable of killing millions of Americans while exposing millions more too deadly radioactive fallout. According to Williams, reliable sources indicate that these bombs may already be in the possession of al Qaeda operatives in such major cities as New York, Washington, Miami, Chicago, Las Vegas, Houston, and Los Angeles. In Addition, bin Laden has recruited former Soviet scientists and technicians to maintain these weapons and recharge their nuclear cores so that they may be deployed immediately on his command. In 2001 he issued a statement boasting of his intent to have America experience a Hiroshima.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso included in the book are bin Laden’s Letter to America and his Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places, as well as the World Islamic Statement declaring Jihad against Jews and Crusaders. These crucial documents highlight the rationale behind and the depth of bin Laden’s hatred for the United States. Moreover, Williams documents that Osama has the international network of embedded terrorists to carry out his threats.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the media have reported on some of these threatening developments and government insiders have acknowledged the threat of nuclear attack, until now no one has put all the pieces together in a coherent, no-nonsense way. Williams makes a persuasive case that bin Laden and his deputies have the motive and the means and are just waiting for the right opportunity to launch an apocalyptic attack on the Great Satan of America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eREVIEWS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEven after 9\/11, most experts continue to underestimate the dangers of extremist terrorism.

The picture that emerges is one of considerable complexity, and far from complete.\u003cbr\u003eDr Mahapatra's monograph puts the focus on these interests and the manner in which they have been pursued.  His analysis of policy sheds useful light on perceived objectives and the extent of success in achieving them.

Each of these issues affects the triangular dynamic among China, India and the United States. A special feature of this volume is that it is an informed assessment of an under-researched theme-China's complex role in simultaneously promoting and inhibiting Indo-U.S. engagement. It examines the many shades of strategic ambiguity, reflected most recently in China's response to the historic Indo-U.S. civil nuclear initiative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis work will be an important resource for all those interested in Asia's security politics, the American response to the rise of China and India and the changing dynamic of Asian balance of power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTRIBUTORS:\u003cbr\u003eAlyssa Ayres\u003cbr\u003eVivek Bharati\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Economy\u003cbr\u003eRichard J.

They attack, strike terror among people and vanish. They take the organized forces by surprise and indulge in activities like the attack on Indian Parliament on December 13, 2001, with a view to raise the sagging morale of terrorists in India after the ISI – Taliban – Al-Qaida debacle in Afghanistan at the hands of US. The Islamic fundamentalist militias like the Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Toiba were used as instruments to carry out the nefarious designs. This attack was in defiance of the US stand on terrorism and Pakistan clearly conveyed to the US that it would not abide by any US instruction concerning cross-border terrorism against India. Musharraf wanted to demonstrate to terrorist organizations like Harkat-ul-Mujeahideen, Jaish-e-Mohammad, Lashkar-e-Toiba that he had not sold out to the US and that there was no betrayal of the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Taliban might have been dislodged and Al-Qaida’s jehadis dispersed but Osama bin Laden’s Islamic Army is continuing jehad against the Jews, Americans, Britons and Indians. Al-Qaida is well entrenched in Pakistan having strong links with ISI. The US support to General Pervez Musharraf has emboldened him and he is not willing to dismantle the Infrastructure of Terrorism despite making promises. The ISI is a rogue organization, unaccountable and engaged in terrorist activities across the world. India, in particular, is the victim of the evil designs of ISI and Pakistan fundamentalist organizations like the LeT, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Hizbul Mujahideen and lot many others operating from Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISI \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAl-Quida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaliban and Mullah Mohammed Omar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCocktail of ISI, Taliban and Al-Qaida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnited Nations Resolution on Terrorism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerica, Pakistan and India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e11th September, 2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1st October, 2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e13th December, 2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e14th May, 2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Pervez Musharraf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBetween the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOsama bin Laden \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFundamentalists\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Agra Summit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"Bhure Lal \/ Sikh Educational Trust \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40776702066857,"sku":"7689","price":31.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/7689_034d35f2-a502-435b-afff-6910c0b6abaf.jpg?v=1625529779"},{"product_id":"7734-dealing-with-global-terrorism-the-way-forward","title":"Dealing with Global Terrorism - The Way Forward","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Vinod Saighal\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Sterling\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2003\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003ePages: 398\u003cbr\u003eISBN\/UPC (if available): 8120725344\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, the author goes beyond the well-known by-lanes of the phenomenon and provides a tantalizing glimpse of how the world is probably missing the wood for trees in its fight against global terrorism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHighlighting the changing nature of conflicts, the General provides a fresh perspective on dealing with the disproportionality factor related to terrorist actions – as in Bali-whereby a small cell can force extraordinarily large deployments on nations responding to the terror.
