Summary/Abstract |
During his tenure as the head of the British Army General Sir Richard Dannatt became the most controversial British military figure since the end of the Second World War, due to his high public profile, unmatched since that of Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery over 60 years earlier. Critics have charged that at times his behaviour went beyond the boundaries of the United Kingdom's unwritten constitution, and strategists and readers of Survival may have been put off from reading his memoirs by his appearances in the British media, or by his decision (about which he subsequently expressed regret) to accept an invitation to advise the then opposition Conservative Party shortly after he retired in 2009.

Summary/Abstract |
Over the past decade or so, Pakistan has been focusing considerable energy and resources on the development of tactical nuclear weapons, most notably the Nasr short-range ballistic missile. This has been driven by the belief that India has a doctrine for rapid ground attacks into Pakistan, known as ‘Cold Start’, and that India’s capability to conduct such an operation is increasing. The strategic importance (and indeed the existence) of a Cold Start doctrine has been the subject of considerable debate; in reality, the Indian military has a wide range of options for military action against Pakistan, which probably include numerous options for ‘surgical strikes’ of varying degrees of military ambition and risk. Any Cold Start doctrine is likely seen by Delhi as an option of last resort.
