Description

In Sleepwalking to surrender [the author] explores, why, despite the horrifying toll that terrorism has taken on Pakistan, the civil and military establishments continue to uphold a variety of conspiracy theories in place of the facts on the ground. In a situation where the writ of the state is fraying in the face of Taliban-al-Qaeda terror, it continues to view the USA and India as its designated enemies, instead of the extremists holding the state to ransome.
