The True Face of Jehadis: Inside Pakistan's Network of Terror

In this disturbing and insightful book, Amir Mir has pieced together a fascinating mosaic of information about jehadi personalities in Pakistan. In the process, he exposes the continuing connection between the Pakistani military establishment, particularly the ISI, and the different militant groups operating from that country. "The True Face of Jehadis" makes it clear that the root of the problem is Pakistani leadership's ambivalence vis-a-vis the jehadis, and its failure to stop using extremism and jehadi violence as instruments of state policy. Amir Mir is among Pakistan's foremost investigative journalists. His writings on militant Islamic groups, and their links with the country's military and intelligence establishment, have repeatedly drawn the ire of the Musharraf government in Pakistan.
