Mao launched 1962 war
Communist leader Mao Zedong declared war on India in 1962 because he saw the country as a "soft target", says a new book. Bertil Lintner in 'China's India War' contradicts the popular perception that Jawaharlal Nehru's "Forward Policy" of 1961 had triggered the war, and says that preparations by China for the war had started much earlier.
