Book Description

ISBN-10: 8174790357 | ISBN-13: 978-8174790354 | Publication Date: January 1, 2002 | Edition: 1

This book focuses on the Saudi civil engineer-turned-terrorist Osama bin Laden, the Taliban and the ISI and how a combination of all these factors led to Pakistan Army's intrusion in Kargil. The book calls for taking a "pro-active" rather than a "reactive" approach to Pakistan's proxy war and says that Pakistan's threat of "more Kargils" be paid back in the same coin: "more Bangladeshs."

By A Customer

This review is from: Pak Proxy War: A Story of ISI, bin Laden and Kargil (Hardcover)

This book reveals much about the rogue nation of Pakistan's everlasting ambitions and fantasies which are at the same time pathetic and funny.Pakistan's sorry armed forces failed 4 times in war against a superior and better trained enemy.In the next round,Pakistan unveils the "Bleed India" policy through promoting ISI funded fanatics and terrorists.This book is a must read for people to understand the sad yet eye opening relenlessness of the poor Pakistanis.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical Delusions
This book is not very fact-based nor is it objective. It merely bases its assumptions on a bunch of hear-says. Not recommended!
