Title: Pakistan's troubled frontier
Description: "Provides a collection of article published by the Jamestown Foundation in recent years covering the history and politics of Pashtun tribes in FATA and NWFP, the rise of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), resurgence of Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM) in Swat, the performance of Pakistan's Frontier Corps and Army, and the challenges faced by NATO in Afghanistan in this context. At a broader level US-Pakistan relations, growth and expansion of the militancy in settled Pashtun areas of NWFP and Pakistan's response to the threats are also discussed in depth. ... Written by eminent scholars and experts, many of whom have either lived or frequently traveled to FATA and NWFP, this is a unique and valuable compendium of insights about the region."--Introd.
