the long version

*(from the back cover)* *Economist* journalist Emma Duncan spent eight months in Pakistan analysing the rumbustious and often infuriatingly volatile society. She attended Benazir Bhutto's wedding, onterviewed General Zia, drank whisky with army officers under threat from fundamentalists, discussed democracy with tribal chiefs and the crime rate in Karachi with politicians. The result is a fascinating, first-hand portrait of a restless and exciting country on the brink of too many possible futures.
