Reviews
• ‘How remarkable is your monumental research! I wonder how you manage to put in so much labour to collect such voluminous documents. Thank you for sharing these with me.' I. K. Gujral, former Prime Minister of India, 20 September 2002.
• ‘One does get some fresh insights into historical events when secret documents are declassified after a lapse of about three decades. Occasionally, they also provide intimate glimpses of the private lives of public figures. But the documents that F.S.Aijazuddin has selected, largely from the National Archives and Records Administration of the United States, hold our attention at many different levels. In fact, F.S. Aijazuddin is more than an editor, because his introduction of 54 pages, intended as a background to the declassified documents, is in itself an outstanding summary of the pre-1969 events that bound together the US, Pakistan and China. Aijazuddin is ideally equipped for the job, given the theme of his earlier book, From a Head, Through a Head, To a Head: The Secret Channel between the US and China through Pakistan . He guides us through a treacherous territory in which he feels quite at home.' Ghazi Salahuddin, Newsline , December 2002.
• ‘ Now we can gain further insight into the behind-the-scenes happenings thanks to Fakir Aijazuddin who commands standing respect in Pakistan's knowledgeable circles as a commentator and researcher of Pakistan's history […] This is a book which should be compulsory reading for our Foreign Office mandarins.' Karamatullah K. Ghori. Dawn Books & Authors , 26 January 2003.
