e3300eb16b6f8e5bae9c229bc9332b8bHusain Haqqani's name is well-known in Pakistan but mostly for the wrong reasons. He is variably known among some journalists, the army and the people as an opportunist who wanted power in all governments, as the man who let the country down in the 'Memogate scandal' and the co-author of the 'Kerry-Luger Bill'. These charges have no bearing on Haqqani's scholarship. He proved it once in an epoch-making book entitled Between the Mosque and the Military (2005) which explored the ties of the Pakistan military with religious actors, especially those who justified aggression against India.
