IN his well-researched and comprehensively documented book Pakistan’s Wars: An Alternative History, Dr Tariq Rahman pleads the case for peace. The author’s words are most convincing as they are preceded by a detailed account of the horrors of war that Pakistan has experienced time and again. But will the powers that be, and who have led us into conflict a number of times, take heed? Be that as it may, the fact is that the country stands on the brink of disaster. Those of us who wield the pen should feel morally obliged to reaffirm Dr Rahman’s plea and spread it far and wide.
