Pakistan – Het gevaarlijkste land ter wereld (Pakistan – The most dangerous country in the world) is the first book by a Dutch journalist about the current situation in Pakistan. It is a brutally honest story about politics, terrorism, and crime based on the author’s own research in the area.

Brilliantly topical! The raw reality of a country in crisis. In 2010, Pakistan was mainly in the news because of the disastrous floods which rather diverted attention from terrorism. However, the threats and atrocities have not diminished.

The roots of global terrorism can be traced back to Pakistan. Undoubtedly, a dangerous state of affairs in a country possessing nuclear capability. Events in Pakistan are potentially relevant to the rest of us.
