"The book is an indispensable work for policy makers and will be immensely useful for the armed forces. It is a result of General Bammi\'s Ph.D. work, which makes it profoundly valuable for scholars as well as those concerned with strategic and military studies. Its importance is further enhanced by the personal interviews of the author during his research work, and his vital inputs on the ethnicity, geography, and history of Nepal." (jacket)
