Book Overview
The relationship between America and Pakistan has historically been marked by misunderstandings. For Americans, Pakistan has oscillated between being a minor player to a vital military ally, while for Pakistan, America has been viewed as a veiled threat to national security.
Both nations have attempted to manipulate their respective perceptions of each other with varying degrees of success. For example, the narrative surrounding the war in Afghanistan largely overlooks critical historical contexts, such as U.S. support for the mujahedeen long before the Soviet invasion.
Husain Haqqani brings a profound understanding of both his homeland and his experiences in America, having served as ambassador and as a professor at Boston University. His unique perspective sheds light on the often tumultuous relationship between these two countries, revealing the complexities of diplomatic interactions.
