| Publisher Description: This is a book filled with useful information, objectively presented, and offered at precisely the right time.---Madeleine K. Albright, U.S. Secretary of State, 1997--2001 How did a nation founded as a homeland for South Asian Muslims become a haven for Al Qaeda and other jihadist groups? In this groundbreaking work, former U.S. diplomat John R. Schmidt, who served in Pakistan in the years leading up to 9/11, takes a detailed look at the country's relationship with radical Islam. The Unraveling is the clearest account yet of the complex, dangerous relationship between the leaders of Pakistan and jihadist groups---and how the rulers' decisions have led their nation to the brink of disaster and put the world at great risk. |
