This book details the njclear weapon capabilities of india and pakistan prior and subsequent to the pokhraran and chagai tests of 1998. it also deals with the delivery systems available to both sides and with possible command structures for the emerging nuclear arsenals. one question, however, has not been answered previously - how are nuclear weapons likely to be used in any india-pakistan conflict? will there be widespread use of tactical nuclear weapons against battlefield targets or will nuclear weapons against battlefield targets or will nuclear weapons unleash their devatation against the crowded metroplises of south asia ? This work deals with these issues and place nuclear weapons occupy in the security policies of india and its arch rival . 2000 ISBN 81 7062 109 7 Hb pp 290
