Malcolm Nance: The Plot to Hack America

Born in 1960, the son of an American mother and Pakistani father, Headley grew up between East and West. He was attracted to both worlds, even working as an informant for the US government, until one day he found he had to choose between the place of his birth and a radical form of Islam preaching global jihad. This is the disturbing story of the mastermind behind the 2008 attacks in Mumbai that killed 166 people.

Veteran journalist Kaare Sørensen has reconstructed his movements and planning in a tense feat of reportage. His account, based on extensive reporting, eyewitness interviews, and documentation, offers unprecedented insight into the mind of the terrorist. The author has provided updates and a new preface for the English-language edition.

A major study of the Pakistan army by an expert with access to the top levels of the political and military establishment.

In recent years, Pakistan has changed from being a state of regional strategic significance to one of major global importance. Its geographical position, religious mix, complex political structure, and its status as a nuclear power have attracted close scrutiny since 9/11. Yet there remains widespread disagreement among political and military analysts as to the real position of this enigmatic nation.

In War, Coups, and Terror , Brian Cloughley explores the underbelly of Pakistan’s military and its controversial role within the Pakistani government since 1971. An insider with links to Pakistan’s past and present senior officers, Cloughley provides unique insight into the army’s influence and position as a force in the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. His coverage of military-political relations will fascinate those who seek a closer understanding of this enigmatic and complex country, its ambitions, affiliations, and loyalties.

Now more than ever, understanding the inner workings of Pakistan is essential to make sense of the complex, geopolitical uncertainties of the future.
