Using many hitherto unpublished materials from the archives of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the General Headquarters of the Pakistan Army, as well as interviews with key military and political figures in Pakistan and the United States, he sheds light not only on thePakistan Army and its US connections but also on Pakistan as a key Muslim country in one of the world's toughest neighborhoods.
