In Pakistan: Journeys In The Land Beyond The Headlines

Part xenophobic and tribal, part sophisticated and Westernized, Pakistan is wracked with tensions. The author, who has visited Pakistan in roles as different as backpacker and guest of the government as a V-VIP (Very, very Important Person), tells of takin ghis initially reluctant wife to see the country that has fascinated him since first reading Kipling in grammar school. They arrived a few days before the military government declared a "State of Emergency" and found a nation in turmoil, yet strangely peacful, with people leading normal lives. 9780615881171 0615881173 228 BOOK Pakistan NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=blsAoAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
