Özet

A character-driven history that describes the bizarrely ill-suited alliance between America and Pakistan, written by a uniquely insightful participant: Pakistan's former ambassador to the US.

The relationship between America and Pakistan is based on mutual incomprehension, and always has been. Pakistan - to American eyes - has gone from being a stabilizing friend to an essential military ally to a seedbed of terror. America - to Pakistani eyes - has been a guarantee of security, a coldly distant scold, an enthusiastic military supplier and ally, and now a threat to national security and a source of humiliation.

In their sixty-five year relationship, one country has become a global superpower, the other perilously close to a failed state - perhaps one of the most dangerous places in the world.

Husain Haqqani has a unique insight into Pakistan, hishomeland, and America, where he was the Pakistani ambassador and is now a professor at Boston University. His life has mapped the relationship of Pakistan and America, and he has found himself often close to the heart of it - sometimes in very confrontational circumstances, even under house arrest - which has allowed him to write the story of the two countries' turbulent affair, here memorably laid bare.

This book was a waste of time, the author is accused of being an American stooge by his own admission. Quite rightly so in my opinion. He had absolutely nothing good to say about a single one of Pakistan’s leaders, and made out USA and it’s secret agencies as if they are the most honest and honourable people around. I suppose he needs his green card the sell out.

Packed with historical background, with cultural and socioeconomic factors/information/explanation, as well as detailed analysis, a well-written book that's worth listening to.

informative, insightful and interesting

full of revelations not only about America and Pakistan's special arrangement but also about the delusion Pakistan has been labouring under since 1947.
Want to know how Pakistan thinks about itself or the rest of the world?
want to know about the double game Pakistan is totally committed to?
look no further.

Excellently informative.

How one book can change my whole perspective on Pakistan and US relations. I checked on some of these claims and to my shock they were correct. A must for Pakistanis to read with an open mind.

Amazing!!
