Title: A Paean to Pakistan -- and Little Else
Review: The CIA:1: was (probably) responsible for Zia'a death2: didn't know the first thing about how to wage a guerilla war3: either allowed or participated in widespread corruption and theft4: was foolishly reluctant to install an Islamic fundamentalist government in Kabul, and5: at the end, intentionally pulled the rug out from under the Mujahadeen.Pakistan's ISI, on the other hand, was wise, incorruptible and only cared about winning the war.Other than maybe 10 pages describing a handful of battles, I've just told you everything there is in this book.
