Pen and Sword: The Nine Lives of Pakistan

Published: Dec. 1, 2020, 8:29 p.m.

In this episode of the Pen and Sword podcast from Stratfor, a RANE company, Emily Donahue speaks with Declan Walsh, who served nearly a decade as the chief correspondent  in Pakistan for The Guardian and The New York Times, about his new book.

In his book, "The Nine Lives of Pakistan: Dispatches from a Precarious State," Walsh describes a fragmented country - once home to great empires and emperors, with traditions old and new. A land of great beauty and culture bound by a religion, struggle, and chaos. It is a powerful book that tries to explain all of those elements through the stories of 9 people whom Walsh encountered during his time there.
