The book launch ceremony for Caught in the Crossfire: The Inside Story of Pakistan’s Secret Services, authored by Brigadier (Retired) Naseem Akhtar Khan, was held at the Kutubna Cultural Centre in Dubai. The event brought together an impressive gathering of representatives from the Pakistani community in Dubai, alongside security professionals from the U.S., UK, UAE, India, Sri Lanka, and several other nations across the Middle East and Asia. General Ehsan ul Haq, former Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, Pakistan Armed Forces, graced the occasion as the chief guest.
Published by Pen and Sword Publishers UK, “Caught in the Crossfire” delivers a gripping narrative of powerplay in South Asia by the regional and global stakeholders directly impacting Pakistan’s security landscape. Brigadier (R) Khan draws upon his personal experiences in security and counterintelligence to offer a comprehensive analysis of the direction and intensity of the crossfire that Pakistan’s Secret Services have to continuously face, as a consequence, to protect sovereignty and integrity of the country.
The book also examines the implications following the withdrawal of allied forces from Afghanistan in August 2021, providing valuable insights for analysts, security experts, and readers interested in understanding current trends shaping global security. Brigadier (R) Khan believes the book serves as a critical resource for those forecasting future scenarios and adapting to the evolving world order.
This launch marks an international milestone for Caught in the Crossfire, highlighting the growing interest in Pakistan’s security dynamics on a global scale.
