Description
In this episode of the Pen and Sword podcast from RANE, Emily Donahue speaks with Declan Walsh, who served nearly a decade as the chief correspondent in Pakistan for The Guardian and The New York Times, about his new book.
In his book, "The Nine Lives of Pakistan: Dispatches from a Precarious State," Walsh describes a fragmented country - once home to great empires and emperors, with traditions old and new. A land of great beauty and culture bound by a religion, struggle, and chaos. It is a powerful book that tries to explain all of those elements through the stories of 9 people whom Walsh encountered during his time there.
