The book focuses on the turbulent period of 1989-90 in Kashmir. However, to grasp the underlying reasons that caused the mayhem, the study traces the history from 1947 onwards, examining the involvement of India's adversarial neighbour and New Delhi's political missteps in Kashmir. The book captures the ground situation in the Valley during 1989-90 from the administrative and security perspectives. The author deliberately limited the study to 1991, believing that the insurgency in the Valley was still in its early stages and controllable. After that, the conflict escalated into asymmetric warfare,  necessitating a different analytical approach.
