Opis

In the wake of Pakistan's development of nuclear weapons, unpoliceable border areas, shelter of the Afghan Taliban and Bin Laden, there is a clear need to look further than the simple image of a failed state so often portrayed in the media. This title offers an understanding of this remarkable and highly contradictory country.

Recenzje

Superb ... Few writers offer the insight and deep knowledge that Lieven has of a country critical for the West but one often caricatured by the media and rarely understood by Western policy makers ... Timely and compelling Maleeha Lodhi
