COVERT Hardcover

"Covert: The Psychology of War and Peace" by Amarjit Singh Dulat, Asad Durrani, and Neil K. Aggarwal is a profound exploration of the complex relationship between India and Pakistan, viewed through the lens of two former intelligence chiefs from opposing nations, Dulat (India's R&AW) and Durrani (Pakistan's ISI). Building on the success of "The Spy Chronicles," this book captures a series of revealing conversations, moderated by psychiatrist Neil K. Aggarwal, that delve into the personal and professional journeys that shaped these spymasters and how their national identities influenced them. The discussions extend to broader international relations, examining why cooperation occurs in some areas between the two countries while hostility persists in others, ultimately offering a remarkably candid and insightful appraisal of the peacebuilding process and the shadowy world of negotiation and subterfuge in South Asia.
