A definitive history of the Kashmiri conflict by one of
Pakistan’s leading reporters
For nearly sixty years, India and Pakistan have battled over the
territory of Kashmir. The two nuclear-armed states have fought
three bloody wars in the region, but the countries have also fought
in the shadows.
Having interviewed a thousand militants in war-torn Kashmir, Arif
Jamal presents a news-breaking account of Pakistan’s secret battles
with India. From the early 1980s, when the Kashmiri conflict lurked
in the background of the CIA’s proxy war in Afghanistan, to the
eruption of insurgent violence in 1988, to recent Kashmiri
connections to terrorist financing and training, Jamal brings much
to light.
Jamal reveals that the Pakistani military has trained nearly half
a million insurgents and, as a matter of defense policy, continued
the conflict at great human cost. He also shows how CIA money
destined for the Afghan mujahideen was funneled to Kashmiri
jihadis, leading to a twenty-year insurgency rarely discussed in
Western media.
