Reading List: Pakistan, Then and Now
Reading List: Pakistan, Then and Now
America has long relied on Pakistan for military and intelligence support in the War on Terror, but relations have grown increasingly frayed and may be approaching an open break. What could this mean for continuing American military operations in the region?
Wednesday night at the 9/11 Memorial Museum, C. Christine Fair of Georgetown University will discuss in a public program whether there is still a mutual basis for American–Pakistani cooperation. Because this issue has only grown in complexity, Fair compiled a reading list for those interested in learning more about Pakistan.

Although I don’t have a personal tie to the September 11 attacks, they have had a major effect on my life as a New Yorker. The events were undoubtedly horrific, but the 9/11 Memorial & Museum commemorate it in such a magical way. It is not recognized as a place of sadness, but as a special place of remembrance.
