US-Pakistan Relationship : Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, Paperback / softback Book

US-Pakistan Relationship : Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan Paperback / softback

Part of the US Foreign Policy and Conflict in the Islamic World series

Paperback / softback

Description

Hilali provides an excellent study into the US-Pakistan partnership under the Reagan administration.

The book explores the causes of Pakistan's involvement in the Afghanistan war and the United States' support to prevent Soviet adventurism.

It shows that Pakistan was the principal channel through which assistance was provided to Afghan freedom fighters; it also provided access to its military bases to use against the Soviet Union.

The study looks at the consequences of the war on Pakistan and explains how it became enmeshed within its domestic politics.

Furthermore, it evaluates the role of Pakistan as a key partner in the global coalition against terrorism and discusses how General Pervez Musharraf brought about Pakistan's development towards a progressive, moderate and democratic society.

Ideally suited to courses on foreign policy.
