Harrison Akins Libri

The book explores the complex political and military conflicts between Indian and Pakistani governments and the princely states, rooted in the legacy of British indirect rule. It examines how differing concepts of state sovereignty influenced these clashes during the tumultuous period surrounding the transfer of power in 1947, highlighting the intricate dynamics of post-colonial governance and national identity in South Asia.

Harrison Akins reveals how the war on terror has led to the unintended consequence of increasing domestic terrorism in U.S. partner states. He examines U.S.-backed counterterrorism operations that targeted al Qaeda in peripheral regions over which central governments held little control.
