false 6270540 1 <p>For nearly sixty years, India and Pakistan have battled over the territory of Kashmir. The two nuclear-armed states have fought three bloody wars in the region, but the countries have also fought in the shadows.</p><p>Having interviewed nearly a thousand militants in war-torn Kashmir, Arif Jamal presents a news-breaking account of Pakistan's secret battles with India. From the early 1980s, when the Kashmiri conflict lurked in the background of the CIA's proxy war in Afghanistan, to the eruption of insurgent violence in 1988, to recent Kashmiri connections to terrorist financing and training, Jamal brings much to light.</p><p>Jamal reveals that the Pakistani military has trained nearly half a million insurgents and, as a matter of defense policy, continued the conflict at great human cost. He also shows how CIA money destined for the Afghan mujahideen was funneled to Kashmiri jihadis, leading to a twenty-year insurgency rarely discussed in Western media.</p><p>A contributing writer to <i>The New York Times</i>, <b>Arif Jamal</b> is currently a fellow at the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University. A leading Pakistani reporter, he has written for the <i>Pakistan Times</i>, <i>The News</i>, and international media such as Radio France International and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.</p> 6453855 1 3 2009 Shadow War: The Untold Story of Jihad in Kashmir total:3|5:3|4:0|3:0|2:0|1:0| 3 15 12 0 5 0 false false Tue Nov 03 19:50:08 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 19:50:08 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 26 04:39:25 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 26 04:39:25 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sat Oct 10 09:55:35 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 09:55:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Sep 21 09:56:15 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 09:56:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 23 21:21:43 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 21:21:43 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 04 16:34:28 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 16:34:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 18 14:51:01 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 08:12:24 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 18:05:29 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 18:05:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 09 19:52:02 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 09 19:52:02 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jun 09 09:07:57 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 09 09:07:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 05 11:54:29 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 11:54:29 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 18 09:49:34 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 09:49:34 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=6270540
