Ever since the two ancient nations of India and China established modern states in the mid-20th century, they have been locked in a complex rivalry ranging across the South Asian region. Garver offers a scrupulous examination of the two countries' actions and policy decisions over the past fifty years. He has interviewed many of the key figures who have shaped their diplomatic history and has combed through the public and private statements made by officials, as well as the extensive record of government documents and media reports. He presents a thorough and compelling account of the rivalry between these powerful neighbors and its influence on the region and the larger world.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Age of the Asian giants
    Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2006
    Verified Purchase
    This book is a must for anyone interested in Sino-India relations. It chronologically analysizes the relations/events between modern China and India upto the late 1990's and mainly covers military and political aspects. It's interesting to read the Chinese view points and policies though understandably overall more of the Indian perceptions are explained.

    The author John Garver has done a thorough job and I was suprised the the in-depth information on all important issues. References to Sardar Patel as leader 'realpolitik', failures of Indian diplomacy to garner support inspite of supporting democratic insistitutions/values in the region, China playing the Pakistan card to achieve higher status, India's sphere of influence v/s China's tributary status in the region, reasons for Sino-Soviet split are some of the few.

    Now with post-Deng China attaining great economic progress and slowly abandoning its belligerent Maoist policies, it would be good to see if it can sustain this level of progress without social change and freedom. At the same time India's bureaucratic and dysfunctional democratic system needs a lot of catching up to do if it wants to reduce the progress gap with China. The opening of the Nathu-La pass, the Qinghai-Tibet railway, fierce competition for global energy resourses etc.; these two Asian giants are getting more interactive leading to rivalalry with few instances of cooperation. Like John Garver says that unless India is willing to become a junior partner of China in the emerging world order, we may further see Sino-Indian rivalry in the 21st century.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on the subject, hands down
    Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    As a think-tank scholar in Washington, DC writing my own book on China-India relations, I have read literally dozens of books, hundreds of policy papers, and thousands of articles on the subject. None stand up to Garver's Protracted Contest. This book remains the most influential work on Sino-Indian relations to date. A must read for anyone interested in the subject. Period.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Indo-Chinese rivalry
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Replete with the usual subliminal and explicit Anglo-American hostility towards India, daring to assert national autonomy (and espousing, heaven forbid, friendship with Russia!!). That will not easily change though the current Anglo-American economic mess is cause for Indian schadenfreude that may, in the bargain, render the arrogant disregard for India unimportant. But the wretched book contains many useful nuggets of information in its uninspired workmanlike endeavour trawling the literature and associated documents.
