Synopsis Husain Haqqani’s Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military analyzes the origins of the relationships between islamist groups and Pakistan’s military, and explores Pakistan’s quest for identity and security. Tracing how Pakistan’s military has sought U.S. support by making itself useful for concerns of the moment-while continuing to strengthen the mosque-military alliance within the country-Haqqani offers an alternative view of political development in Pakistan since the country’s independence in 1947.
