Event Description : BOOK LAUNCH : Penguin Books India presents "The Longest August" by the author Dilip Hiro.

In a riveting account of the relationship between India and Pakistan, historian and journalist Dilip Hiro traces the landmark events dating back to 1888, rooted in Hindu-Muslim tensions, that led to the partition of the sub-continent. Since 1947, there have been several acute crises between the neighbors, including the secession of East Pakistan to form an independent Bangladesh in 1971, and the acquisition of nuclear weapons by both sides resulting in a narrowly avoided confrontation in 1999 and 2002. Hiro also illustrates the geopolitical importance of the India-Pakistan conflict by chronicling their respective ties not only with America and the Soviet Union, but also with China, Israel, and Afghanistan. The Longest August presents a definitive history of one of the world's longest-running and most intractable conflicts.
