Reviews

""This book is a deep dive into the multifaceted relationship between the US and Pakistan through the past seven decades. It traces their journey from their historical beginnings to the current, tracing the turbulent realities, with the geopolitical, social, and cultural factors that have shaped their interactions over the decades. The chapters offer well-researched, nuanced insights into the soft issues such as cultural diplomacy, and the role of diaspora and academia among other issues. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of the US foreign policy, South Asian politics and international relations."" Lieutenant General, Khalid Ahmed Kidwai, Founding Director General, Strategic Plans Division, Rawalpindi, Pakistan ""Sadia Sulaiman deserves to be congratulated for editing this excellent collection of Pakistani and American experts discussing relations between the two countries. Considering the political importance of Pakistan and the current tension inside and outside the country a collection like this which brings together such wise heads could not be more important."" Akbar Ahmed, Distinguished Professor and Chair of Islamic Studies, American University and Global Fellow of the Wilson Center, Washington D.C. ""This book is not only timely but provides a totally fresh and engaging perspective on the US-Pakistan relations. The discussion in the book moves forward from short-term security interests under the complex geopolitical settings of the South Asian region that has historically marked the engagement between the two countries. It provides an insight into the possible future arenas of cooperation in areas such as climate change, health security, knowledge economy and entrepreneurial ecosystem between Washington and Islamabad – indeed a missed aspect of this relationship thoroughly explained in this book."" Zahid Hussain, is an award-winning journalist and author of No-Win War: The Paradox of US-Pakistan Relations in Afghanistan’s Shadow
