The universe of militant groups in Pakistan's Federally
Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Northwest Frontier Province
(NWFP), near the Afghan border, is far more complex and diverse
than is commonly understood. While these groups share many
ideological and historical characteristics, the militants have very
different backgrounds, tribal affiliations, and strategic concepts
that are key to understanding the dynamics of this dangerous,
war-torn region- the main safe haven of al-Qaeda and the gateway to
fighting in Afghanistan. This volume of essays, edited by Peter
Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann and produced in connection with the
New America Foundation, explores the history and current state of
the lawless frontier of "Talibanistan," from the groups that occupy
its various sub-regions to the effects of counterinsurgency and
military intervention (including drone strikes) and the possibility
of reconciliation. Contributors include MIT's Sameer Lalwani, NYU's
Paul Cruickshank, Afghan journalist Anand Gopal, and Brian Fishman
of the New America Foundation.
