Pakistan's former President Pervez Musharraf has come within inches of assassinations. His forces have caught more than 670 members of al Qaeda in the mountains and cities. Long locked in a deadly embrace with its nuclear neighbor India, Pakistan has come close to full-scale war on two occasions since it first exploded a nuclear bomb in 1998. With struggles for the security and political future of his nation, it is unprecedented for a sitting head of state to write a memoir as revelatory, detailed, and gripping as In the Line of Fire. In his biography, the author gives first-hand details onall the triggering events during his presidency including various negotiation attempts, confrontation proposals, and manhunt investigations.
