Publisher's Synopsis
US-Pakistan relations have been very volatile: largely a result of the Cold War. An intimate partnership prevailed in the Eisenhower, Nixon and Reagan years, and friction during the Kennedy, Johnson and Carter presidencies. This text charts the ups and downs of this relationship, including the blunt talking-to delivered by President Clinton to Pakistan's military dictator during his March 25, 2000 stop-over in Pakistan. The incident highlighted continuing US-Pakistani differences.
