About the Book

According to Time magazine, Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf holds 'the world's most dangerous job'. He has twice come within inches of assassination. His force have caught over 670 member of Al Qaeda. Long locked in a deadly embrace with its nuclear neighbour India, Pakistan has twice come close to full-scale war since it first exploded a nuclear bomb in 1998. As Musharraf struggles for the security and political future of his nation, the stakes could not be higher for the world at large.
It is unprecedented for a sitting head of state to write a memoir as revelotary, detailed and gripping as In the LIne of Fire. Here, for the first time, readers can get a first-hand view of the war on terror in its central theatre. President Musharraf details the manhunts for Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, and their top lieutenants, complete with harrowing cat-and-mouse games, informats, interceptions, and bloody firefights.
About Author :
Pervez Musharraf has been the President of Pakistan since 1999. As a four-year old, he moved to Karachi upon the partition of India and creation of Pakistan, and his lifespan adn career has been tied to the life of his country ever since. After attending Pakistan's miltiary academy he became a commando in the elite Special Service Brigade, fighting in the wars with India in 1965 and 1971. He rose through the ranks to become General and Chief of Army Staff in 1998. He became President in a dramatic confrontation with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and has remained in officer despite two assassination attempts.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
