Reviews
'Author, diplomat, soldier, spy: Lieutenant General Asad Durrani has been it all. This is an unprecedented memoir, the first by a Director-General of the ISI, providing an outstanding and candid insight into the political intrigues of Pakistan and the region.' -- A.S. Dulat
'With dry wit, Asad Durrani provides an illuminating glimpse into the world of Pakistan's "establishment". The insight that much bloodshed can result from petty human interactions at the highest levels is well worth pondering.' -- Barnett Rubin
'A deep insight into Pakistan's political power game. Highly recommended.' -- Zahid Hussain
'A fascinating and courageous account of contemporary Pakistan packed with rare insights.' -- Happymon Jacob
'Durrani's combination of memoir and reflection is among the most important works to have emerged from the Pakistani Army since independence. Its dry wit and wealth of anecdote also make it a pleasure to read.' -- Anatol Lieven, author of 'Pakistan: A Hard Country'
