Description
This book examines Pakistan's complex history and its impact on the country's politics and institutions. It explores how successive governments have used Islam and Kashmir to achieve their goals, as well as the role of the army and intelligence service in shaping foreign policy.
The author argues that a durable relationship with Pakistan requires understanding the country's turbulent past and addressing its institutional weaknesses. The book concludes with recommendations for the US administration on how to build a long-term partnership with Pakistan, including increased investment in institution-building and reducing the influence of the army.
