In 1979, the organization's growing importance was felt during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, as it worked hand in glove with the CIA to support the mujahideen resistance, but its activities received little coverage in the media. Offering fresh insights into the ISI based on intimate knowledge of its inner workings and key individuals, this startlingly original and provocative book uncovers the hitherto shady world of Pakistan's secret service. Review: Sagacious - One of the best books written worth a read people who are interested in working of isi.more important the thought process is wonderful Review: The Directorate of inter - services intelligence ( ISI ) : A State within a state - * The Directorate for inter- services intelligence, more commonly known as ISI, was founded in the year 1948 by a British officer Walter Joseph cawthrone. * In the initial years of it's creation, ISI somehow remained very mild and obscure but it gained it's prominence during the 1979 Afghan - jihad, and with the help of ' Uncle Sam ', The ISI helped and trained the afghan pashtun mujahedeens which later known by the name of " Taliban ", they organized various terrorist attacks in the Indian Punjab, Northeast India, supported and trained all the anti-social elements to bleed india because they realized that conventionally they will never win against India. * When the Soviets left Afghanistan in 1989, ISI Became at that time a 'State within a state', they followed their own foreign policy, threatened the politicians of pakistan at will. * Infact all the major terrorist oragnizations have their links with the ISI of pakistan, for example Al-Qaeda, taliban, hizb-e-islami, laskhar-e-taiba, jaish-e-mohammed and Haqqani network, they all received money and guidance from the ISI personnel. * This book revealed many secrets of the ISI, about its history, the various covert operation it organized across the globe from India to Europe, the author himself lived in Pakistan for 13 long years, established various contacts within the ISI, interviewed the former heads of ISI, and presented to us in the form of this Book. Although this book is only for those who loves to read about Af-pak region, for normal Readers I will not recommend this book.
