The unraveling: Pakistan in the age of jihad

An improbable state

The feudals and the army

Religion, Zia, and the anti-Soviet jihad in Afghanistan

Kashmir, India, and the institutionalization of jihad

The Taliban, Bin Laden, and the road to 9/11

The tribal areas, 9/11, and the rise of the Pakistani Taliban

Lal Masjid, army failures, and the domestic terrorism campaign

Mumbai, the Buner moment, and troubles with the U.S.

The shape of things to come

The final unraveling.
