In his book on the Siachen conflict, which is regarded as the definitive work on the subject, he notes that neither India nor Pakistan gains a strategic advantage from the occupation of the Saltoro range and offers a road map for conflict resolution. He has also edited more than a dozen other books besides writing numerous articles on strategic issues relating to India’s security. His piece on "Limited War and Nuclear Escalation in South Asia" in The Nonproliferation Review in 2001 concluded that there was a high probability of a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan in the event of a direct military conflict between the two countries. Gen. Raghavan was a Commissioner on the independent Commission on Weapons of Mass Destruction set up at the initiative of the Government of Sweden and headed by Dr. Hans Blix. The Commission released a report titled "Weapons of Terror: Freeing the World of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Arms in 2006", which was notable for proposing that nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons be outlawed and exploring the options for achieving this within a reasonable timeframe.
