Paul Kapur is a professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the United States Naval Postgraduate School and an affiliate at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation.
"Paul 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
