Description

Pakistan and America have been gripped together in a deadly embrace for decades. Successive U.S. presidents from both parties have pursued narrow short-term interests in Pakistan, and many of these policies were counterproductive in the longer term, contributing to political instability and radicalization of the population. This has set the stage for the development of the global jihad we face today. In Deadly Embrace, Bruce Riedel explains how this happened, why it happened, how America can avoid making similar mistakes in the future, and what steps are necessary to begin repairing the damage.
