| Abstract
|
:
|
This book discusses Pakistan's troubled history, which has led to current global insecurities and created a breeding ground for radical insurgency and Islamic terrorism. The nature of Pakistan's response to combating these groups from within and its future prospects in terms of the growth of radicalized activity, the nation's internal political struggles, and the survival of the state are also examined.
