THE SPY CHRONICLES RAW ISI And The Illusion Of Peace AS Dulat Asad Durrani And Aditya Sinha

Dulat, the former head of India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

These are countries that have officially gone to war four times and remain locked in asymmetric warfare for decades. So the idea that the erstwhile captains of their covert agencies should even talk amiably, leave alone co-author a book, is unimaginable.
