Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 The Logic of a Militant Proxy Strategy Chapter 3 Partition and an Emerging Strategy Chapter 4 Pakistan's Militant Strategy Evolves Chapter 5 Kashmir and Afghanistan Reprise Chapter 6 The Jihad Paradox: An Assessment Chapter 7 The Future: Can Pakistan Abandon Jihad?ReviewsPaul Kapur offers a blunt, informed, and pessimistic assessment of Pakistan's manipulative relationship with violent jihadist militants. He argues convincingly that support for violent non-state actors is a central component of a long-standing Pakistani grand strategy that has become counter-productive. His incisive analysis concludes that Pakistan risks catastrophe if its militant strategy is not abandoned. -- Martha Crenshaw, Stanford University This book is a major addition to the growing literature on Pakistan and its turbulent trajectory, succinctly written in easy-to-read prose. It is one of the rare works that focuses exclusively on the jihadist strategy of the Pakistani elite and its consequences. It adds substantively to our understanding of a somewhat unusual path Pakistan has undertaken to fight its larger enemy India and its consequences for the state and society as well as the international and regional security orders. -- T.V. Paul, McGill University Jihad as Grand Strategy is not only a profound and comprehensive study of Pakistan's 69-year old strategy of using jihad as an instrument of defense, but also the first one. It is not possible to understand modern global jihad without understanding Pakistan's jihad strategy, which is the source of modern jihad. -- Arif Jamal, author of Call for Transnational Jihad and Shadow War Paul Kapur offers a blunt, informed, and pessimistic assessment of Pakistan's manipulative relationship with violent jihadist militants.
