With Whom Shall I Talk in the Dead of Night is a collection of letters written by Dr. S. Amjad Hussain following the death of his beloved wife Dottie. In writing to Dottie, he confronts his own loss and endless grief and the anguish of his three children. As the months pass, he grapples with the profound and the mundane as he slowly comes to terms with a life now lived alone.

This is a fascinating look at America from a Pakistan's point of view - and an equally fascinating look at Pakistan from an American's point of view. The guiding insight of the soft-spoken Dr. Hussain's work is synthesizing the perspectives of the Pakistani and American ways of life. In "Treading a Fine Line," he draws a compelling social and political history against the background of our current age of economic globalization and fast high tech' communications.

"In a concise primer the author describes the fascinating and often bloody history of Afghanistan, the Soviet occupation in 1979, the civil war in 1990 and the rise of the Taliban from the ashes of a bitterly divided and devastated country. The Taliban and Beyond discusses the make up of the Taliban and brings the story of Afghanistan to its present juncture in the aftermath of the fateful events of September 11, 2001 and the declaration of war against terrorism by the US and its allies. The book is interspersed with brief sidebars and photographs that highlight faces and places in Afghanistan."--Back cover.
