Requests:  0 Summary:  Rashid examines the region and the corridors of power in Washington and Europe to see how the promised nation building in these countries has progressed. His conclusions are devastating: an unstable and nuclear-armed Pakistan, a renewed al Qaeda profiting from a booming opium trade, and a Taliban resurgence and reconquest. While Iraq continues to attract most of American media and military might, Rashid argues that Pakistan and Afghanistan are where the conflict will finally be played out and that these failing states pose a graver threat to global security than the Middle East.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 954.053 Ra Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 954.053 Rashid Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 954.053 Ra Checked In Add Copy to MyList
