Fragments of Grace: My Search for Meaning in the Strife of South Asia
by By Constable, Pamela
Category: History , Asia , India & South Asia

Constable (a South Asia correspondent for the  Washington Post ) arrived in South Asia in 1998 as a neophyte after years of covering Latin American issues in her journalism. Combining journalistic reportage, memoir, political analysis, and travelogue, she reflects on her experiences reporting from India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere, discussing her encounters with the exotic (to her) religions of the region, the roots and events of the long-running guerilla wars in Kashmir and Sri Lanka, the U.S. war to overthrow the Taliban in 2001, and other aspects of the tumultuous region.
