On 25 January 2007 Zahid Hussein, Pakistant Correspont for The Times, released and spoke on his book 'Frontline Pakistan' at the IISS.
This is the first book to examine the volatile post 9/11 situation from the region, revealing the story of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's decision to support the US-led "War on Terror". Zahid Hussain, an insider's insider, distinguishes fact from fiction and reveals unnerving realities never exposed before. Hussain unveils the links between impoverished local radicals, sophisticated international terrorists and government intelligence agents. He illustrates how Pakistan's radical groups are increasingly linking up with Al Qaeda, that dark forces are uniting and they must be eliminated before further mass destruction is created. This is the "War on Terrors'" shadowy frontline, as it has never been seen before.
Zahid Hussain was born in Pakistan and has lived there all his life. He is the Pakistan correspondent for The Times, Wall Street Journal and Newsweek.
