News

Pakistan is in the throes of a new crisis: daily battles on the Afghan border, the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the farcical and grotesque succession ceremony in Sind. Tariq Ali has been visiting Pakistan regularly and writing for the London Review of Books. He is at work on The Duel: Pakistan on the Flightpath of American Power to be published by Scribner later this year.
