The Battle for Pakistan showcases a marriage of convenience between
unequal partners. The relationship between Pakistan and the United
States since the early 1950s has been nothing less than a
whiplash-inducing rollercoaster ride. Today, surrounded by hostile
neighbors, with Afghanistan increasingly under Indian influence,
Pakistan does not wish to break ties with the United States. Nor
does it want to become a vassal of China and get caught in the vice
of a US-China rivalry, or in the Arab-Iran conflict. Internally,
massive economic and demographic challenges as well as the
existential threat of armed militancy pose huge obstacles to
Pakistan's development and growth. Could its short-run political
miscalculations in the Obama years prove too costly? Can the
erratic Trump administration help salvage this relationship? Based
on detailed interviews with key US and South Asian leaders, access
to secret documents and operations, and the author's personal
relationships and deep knowledge of the region, this book untangles
the complex web of the US-Pakistani relationship and identifies a
clear path forward, showing how the United States can build better
partnerships in troubled corners of the world.
