The relationship between the United States and Pakistan has been strained since the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, with a growing divide between Washington and Islamabad. While a complete breakdown of the alliance is not feasible, the underlying cause of the tension remains largely unexplained. What is often overlooked is the impact of Pakistan's decision to align itself with the US, which led to its involvement in a war against its own people, the costs associated with its tightrope balancing between alignment with the US and its historical ties with the Afghan Taliban, and the long-term consequences for the region and global security.
This book delves into these complex issues, shedding light on the lesser-known facts and the key players involved in this intricate cloak-and-dagger game. It provides a comprehensive account of the events that have shaped the relationship between the US and Pakistan, including the breakdown of the ISI's alliance with the Afghan Taliban, the shootout in Lahore involving a CIA agent, and the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
Through its exploration of these events and the broader context of the US-Pakistan relationship, the book offers valuable insights into the dynamics of foreign policy in the region. It challenges prevailing narratives and provides a more nuanced understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing both countries. Whether you are interested in international relations, security, or the history of the Middle East, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of the complex and often fraught relationship between the US and Pakistan.
