DESCRIPTION
Husain Haqqani’s 'Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military' analyzes the origins of the relationships between Islamist groups and Pakistan’s military, and explores Pakistan’s quest for identity and security. Tracing how Pakistan’s military has sought U.S. support by making itself useful for concerns of the moment — while continuing to strengthen the mosque-military alliance within the country — Haqqani offers an alternative view of political developments in Pakistan since the country’s independence in 1947.
REVIEWS
"A well-written and authoritative account from someone who knows Pakistani politics from the inside." — Peter Bergen, CNN Terrorism Analyst and author of the bestselling 'Holy War, Inc.: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden'
"We are in Husain Haqqani’s debt for providing the authoritative account of the linkages between Pakistan’s powerful Islamists and its professional army. He conclusively demonstrates that these ties are long-standing, complex, and very troubling. This brilliantly researched and written book should be required reading for anyone who wishes to understand this increasingly important state." — Stephen P Cohen, Brookings Institution,
Author of 'The Idea of Pakistan' and 'The Pakistan Army'
"Husain Haqqani has seen Pakistani politics close up. But his book is much more than a memoir: Haqqani has produced a provocative and controversial history revealing the depth of the links between the army and the Islamic radicals. Required reading." - Owen Bennett-Jones, BBC, Author of 'Pakistan: The Eye of the Storm'
