Songs of Blood and Sword

A Daughter’s Memoir

By Fatima Bhutto


Fatima Bhutto's powerful new memoir, Songs of Blood and Sword, tells the story of a family of rich feudal landlords—the proud descendants of a warrior caste—who became power brokers in the newly created state of Pakistan. It is an epic tale full of the romance and legend of feudal life, the glamor and license of the international political elite and ultimately, the tragedy of four generations of a family defined by a political idealism that would destroy them.

See Fatima on her book tour!

Aftermath

Following the Bloodshed of America's Wars in the Muslim World

By Nir Rosen


Nir Rosen's Aftermath is an extraordinary feat of reporting that follows the contagious spread of radicalism and sectarian violence that the invasion of Iraq and the ensuing civil war have unleashed in the Middle East. Taking us from Iraq to Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and finally Afghanistan, acclaimed journalist Rosen goes to the alleys, deserts, refugee camps, mosques, and battlefields of the post-invasion Muslim world to show how the American military has influenced Iraq and Afghanistan and how it has been influenced by its new theater of operations. Aftermath is an unsparing account of what America has wrought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Brilliantly reported and deeply humane."
—Andrew Bacevich, author of Washington Rules: America's Path to Permanent War
