China’s territorial disputes with India have been a matter of debate since 1950s. While China has amicably resolved boundary disputes with twelve out of its fourteen neighbouring countries, it is yet to resolve its boundary disputes with India and Bhutan as also its maritime disputes in the South China Sea and East China Sea. This volume looks at the complex dynamics of India–China boundary disputes which remains unresolved. It is still the biggest challenge to the relations between the two countries. From the Indian perspective securing Arunachal and the Indus Watershed is highly important. From the Chinese point of view Karakoram and Xinjiang–Tibet road must be respected. Secondary issues have always occupied a central and pivotal focus in the relations between India and China. This work also shows how British efforts to secure a defined and natural boundary began immediately after the creation of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846 after Amritsar treaty. In the eastern sector such an effort began only in the first decade of twentieth century. Relevant documents have been presented which examines the role of bureaucrats, diplomats, generals and surveyors. It examines the treaties, conventions, correspondence as well as internal debates between changing British officials and their conflicting British policies. Nehru refused Chou En Lai in 1960, which in turn led to the unilateralism in Chinese attitude after 1962. The volume breaks new ground by evaluating the differing policies, and explains how a secured boundary can ultimately be agreed upon.

This analysis of the origins of major wars, since the development of the modern state system in Europe centuries ago, also considers the problems involved in preventing a contemporary nuclear war.

Dynamite truly comes in a small package in this literature of the Dead Sea Scroll's most important prophecy of the ages. Not since the Book of Revelation and the Prayer of Jabez has there been such a power packed punch in Christian writing. For the time is just ahead when the devil shall no longer be the accuser of the brethren after the rapture is passed. At that time the pearly gates of Heaven shall be locked once and for all as all of the powers of the air are finally cast down upon the earth once and for all. And it's also predicted that those world shattering times will be filled with incredible gross spiritual darkness since the Holy Ghost shall no longer abide within anyone on the planet. And when that time comes forth all of the sulphuric stinkiness of Hell shall overflow the globe. For those shall be frightful days full of fright, and days of darkest night. It shall also then be days of fears, days of many fears, and days that shall burn as an oven. Only then shall the Apocalypse of Lazurus come forth like some perverse winds of destruction that shall cause the spirit of death to make the four horsemen of the book of Revelation to look like some clown rodeo riders in comparison to his nastiness, which will set the lands aflame with the kind of horror that true terror has always been full of. For that prophet who Christ raised from the dead penned this 2,000 years ago: 1"Behold the dreadful wailing of the sodomites who wallow in morbific blood issuing forth from the putrid bladder of Satan. Your guts will be spun on the loom of judgement, to drip like pus into the mouths of the unconverted. 2 You will become like shit on the shoe of Lucifer, the gristle in a pool of Demonic vomit. You will also become the genital warts that adorn the arse of Hades. 3 All of this and more shall you become in the final days of Man. The dragon and beast cast into Hell, Death into the valley of Jehoshaphat. 4 The earth shall shake at the end of days, Men will flee into holes and caves. 5 All hail the swarm of demons that cometh like flies from the bottomless pit. 6 Hark the horns of Armageddon for they herald the messianic oracle of slaughter and wrath. Apocalypse, an oracle of darkness, and brimstone and fire. 7 Apocalypse, the whore of Babylon and the Demonic holocaust. 8 Apocalypse, the shattered universe, and a fellowship of death. 9 Apocalypse, the number of the beast, and the devouring locust. 10 Apocalypse, a holy revelation, and the seventh seal of God. 11 Apocalypse, Seducer of earth, and pale horse of death from the flames of the Satanic war machine that's born of the dragon of chaos, way before the dead will be reborn."
