An inside look at the true enemies in the War on Terror written by a career intelligence officer. Most Western readers learnt of the threat posed by Al Qaeda when airliners slammed into the World Trade Center buildings on September 11. More than a decade later, people continue to be surprised at the layered and complex nature of the War on Terror, where our allies are often not what they seem, and elements of the Pakistani establishment and Inter Services Intelligence are actively helping Al Qaeda and the Taliban against US forces. In this brutally honest and incisive book, Dhar, a career Intelligence Operator who has grappled first hand against Islamic terror long before US readers became aware of the threat they posed, lays bare the unholy nexus between the ISI, Islamic fundamentalists and elements within the Central Intelligence Agency. A nexus that has perhaps cost thousands of innocent lives throughout the world. Fulcrum of Evil is essential reading for anyone who wants to go beyond the headlines fed to us by an ignorant and sometimes complicit mainstream media and to learn about the true background behind the War on Terror that is being waged in the name of freedom.
