description: This is Martin Sugarman's photographic document of the bitter territorial war that has raged between India and Pakistan in northern Kashmir since 1984. In 1994-95, Sugarman photographed the landscape of this long struggle in which eight out of ten deaths are caused not by the battle but by the hazardous terrain. In this war men fight for oxygen on icy mountain peaks at altitudes up to 23,000 feet. This astonishing book of photographs is the only record of an unwinnable war fought on the highest battlefield in military history, a war tragically not reported in the mainstream media.
