Reviews

"Pakistan's Quagmire encapsulates Pakistan's current problems and their genesis. It offers a detailed read on issues that occupy considerable space even outside Pakistan such as the army's omni-present role, the Islamists, the existential threat at the hands of al Qaeda and Tehrike Taliban Pakistan, and also puts fears of an Islamist or military re-takeover in a realistic perspective. It is a useful guide and analysis on the present day Pakistan for those interested in this turbulent region." --Imtiaz Gul, author of The Most Dangerous Place: Pakistan's Lawless Frontier
