No-Win War

No-Win War: The Paradox of US-Pakistan Relations in Afghanistan’s Shadow 📖✨, authored by Vanni Cappelli (or if you meant Pervez Hoodbhoy’s edition, confirm), offers a deep analysis of the complex and often contradictory relationship between the United States and Pakistan, shaped heavily by the war in Afghanistan. The book examines how mutual mistrust, conflicting interests, and strategic compulsions have created a cycle of cooperation and betrayal between the two nations 🤝⚔️. Tracing events from the Cold War to the post-9/11 era, it highlights Pakistan’s role in the Afghan conflict, U.S. strategies, and the long-term consequences of this entangled alliance. This insightful work is indispensable for students of International Relations, Political Science, and Security Studies, as well as for policymakers and general readers interested in South Asian geopolitics 🌍📘.
