The Contractor: How I Landed in a Pakistani Prison and Ignited a Diplomatic Crisis

The Shocking Inside Story of the Event That Shook US-Pakistan Relations

In January 2011, a routine drive through the bustling streets of Lahore, Pakistan, spiraled into a high-stakes international standoff that threatened to sever ties between two nuclear-armed allies.
