Neville Maxwell
Auteur van India's China War
Over de Auteur
Neville Maxwell, an Australian, began his career in journalism after taking degrees at McGill and Cambridge universities; first working at The Age in Melbourne, and then joining The Times in London as a foreign correspondent, serving first in the Washington bureau (1956-9), and then for eight years toon meer as South Asia Correspondent, based in Delhi. He left that post in 1967 to re-study the Sino-Indian border dispute - which he had covered for The Times from its emergence - as a Senior Fellow at the London School of Oriental and African Studies. The outcome of this, in 1970, was his revisionist and definitive work India's China War, correcting his original misreading, and, in its immediate and lasting international effect, reversing the almost universally held misapprehension that China was the aggressor in that conflict. He did not return to full-time journalism but went on to Oxford University as a Senior Research Fellow (1970-93), teaching politics and international relations and continuing his research on China's foreign policy, publishing widely on the Sino-Soviet boundary dispute and other aspects of Beijing's policies. Retired, he lives in Australia and continues to write on international affairs. toon minder

Unfortunately, his research and understanding of geopolitics is poor. I agree with his assertion that Nehru was largely to blame for the 1962 conflict. I also agree that Nehru is to take a large part of the blame for our poor preparedness.
However, he has painted the Chinese in almost saintly, divine colours. This is naive and stupid. Neville Maxwell did not take the trouble to even mention the manner in which the Chinese overtook Sinkiang (now XinJiang) and Tibet. He dismissed the Simla Conference in a cavalier fashion.
Read the book to get a different perspective on the old war, but take his writing with a ton of salt.… (meer)
