Thanks for this list of books. I think you all know about the news from Europe, about the Ukraine situation. And all that made me interested in history, history of conflicts, including the Pakistan situation. Besides, I'm a student, and want to write a paper based on all those events, and I think the books you provided will give me some interesting and valuable infoSuperb books that are worth a read and available on line from Amazon etc. Happy reading!
This book explains the origins and nature of terrorism in Pakistan and examines the social, political and economic factors that have contributed to the rise of political violence there.
This book examines the rise of religious extremism in Pakistan, particularly since 1947, and analyzes its connections to the Pakistani army's corporate interests and U.S.-Pakistan relations. It includes profiles of leading Pakistani militant groups with details of their origins, development, and capabilities.
The leading journalist on Pakistan lays out America's options with Pakistan and Afghanistan in the post-Bin Laden years.
Ayesha Siddiqa shows how the military has gradually gained control of Pakistan's political, social, and economic resources. T his power has transformed Pakistani society, where the armed forces have become an independent class.
There are more great books to read, but that's enough for now.
Nice read... But way too heavy on Oxford english... U need a dictionary along side.. I got lost between colonization and decolonisation a lot.... Think philosophy is not my cuppa...Has anyone read the book by Sai Deepak?
Malazon books are heavy reading. Very hard to follow. Stormlight is good but i lost touch with it. My fav is Wheel of Time. It started off great then in the middle it got very slow and muddled and then the original author died and they had to rope in Brandon Sanderson to finish it. His style of writing didn't really fit in the Wheel of Time. The last book, I felt, that it was all rushed and Brandon was just in a hurry to finish it and get it done over with so he could go back to his books. I kinda felt let down at the end.Malazn books by Erikson.
You can easily spend few years reading them and the payoff is pretty good. Good thing is that the series is finished.
Another series would be Stormlight archives by Brandon Sanderson. Pretty nice ones and there are linked books in that world build.

I couldn't stand the tv version. It was so woke that I got so mad and disgusted that I stopped watching halfway through episode 2 and haven't returned since. They did the same thing with Willow. I m so fucking sick of the woke movement. Fucking f@ggots. They ruin everything they touch with their stupid gay & lesbian views.WOT was one of my favs when I was younger.
They screwed up the TV show though - big time.
Malazan are heavy reading but they are fantastic.
You are right on hard to follow but stick with it and by the third book, the books become insanely good.
