Waiting for Allah

Pakistan's Struggle for Democracy

Valutazione del libro

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Christina Lamb spent a year reporting on the political turmoil in Pakistan in 1989. This is a descriptive analysis of what she sees as the tragedy of Pakistan as it moves towards the 21st century - a woeful catalogue of vested interests, corruption, an overpowering military, and an unconfident and enfeebled new democracy. She looks at the treatment of women, urban life, patronage and government, the troubled relationship with India, Afghanistan, and the power of tribes and drug lords, the great game of espionage on the new frontier, Benazir Bhutto and her failure to impose change, and the imminent breakdown of democracy.
