## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great resource for the informed, accessible for all
*by O***R on February 16, 2014*

Though this book's title suggests mere policy prescription, No Exit contributes in several ways. First, before wading into policy, the author faces head-on the question of how an American audience should view the country that is the subject of the book. Some classic works on Pakistan have described the main power centers in the country -- think Haqqani or Nasr. Others have tackled isolated questions: for instance, whether or not the government is headed for failure. But, in addition to covering those details, this book stands out in its description of the four partially-contradictory lenses through which Americans might view Pakistan. This shows implicitly how much outsiders can miss by seeing the country through a single lens.Second, No Exit provides a helpful historical overview of US-Pakistan relations, including incidents that have unfolded recently. The historical sections are well-written and feature recaps of some interesting interactions between the author and Pakistani figures, sometimes at key moments. Third, Markey outlines the main strands of anti-Americanism in the country: different groups have different primary complaints about the US relationship. Finally, the book engages in policy prescription not by presenting a silver bullet but by sketching out three main approaches that are available to the US; he explains the benefits and pitfalls of each one and explains why elements of each may need to factor into policy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Insightful & positive towards the end
*by A***R on December 25, 2015*

Well referenced and honestly critical of both parties. There is hope and a deeper more meaningful relationship is the way forward!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly Readable!
*by Q***D on November 16, 2013*

The positive reviews on the dust jacket are all from professionals in international relations, so I wasn't sure at first if this book would also be comprehensible to non-expert readers. But I was quite pleased to discover that this wasn't a problem at all and that "No Exit" should certainly appeal equally to both academics and laymen. When I start most books, I have to confess, I usually wonder if the author has gotten so close to his subject that he has lost his critical eye. One thing I appreciated about this book, however, is that it doesn't pull any punches when it comes to describing all the problems in our relationship with Pakistan and the circumstances (and people) behind these troubles. I was also relieved that I never got the sense that the author had any sort of ideological ax to grind... rather, it was a fair, comprehensive, and readable investigation of the history and issues at hand, their causes and possible remedies. The number of footnotes make it clear this is a well-researched book, but they're unobtrusive and never interfere with the readability or flow of the storytelling. I think anyone with an interest in this part of the world, regardless of their familiarity with Pakistan at the outset, would get a lot out of this book.
