Sometimes you read a book and it seems that you have wasted your time. Sometimes you read a book and you enjoy every bit of it. Sometimes you read a book and gain some valueable information. Very rarely you read a book and it changes your perception and how you look at particular things. 'Profiles of Intelligence' belongs to this last category.
Written by Brigadier Tirmazi who belonged to the Counter Intelligence wing of ISI. His well written book is responsible for changing my perception of how major political decisions are made in my country, how opinions are made, how personalities are made and destroyed. What we see in our daily life, through news channels and news papers is just the tip of the ice-berg. No one ever really knows the true story behind the printed story. How opinions are made through media.
The book starts of with behind the scene details of Bhutto's hanging. And the people behind his hanging. Often I used to think that I have a clear idea of who was behind his hanging, but a few more faces were uncovered.
India's RAW was also covered in detail and their working, their motto, their ideology and the length they could go in order to get state secrets were also mentioned.
A detailed chapter on MOSSAD's working and influence and reason of their success was an eye opener.
I was also overwhelmed by the presence and power of American CIA's influence on the decisions that we make.
After reading this book one can only wonder whether there is light at the end of the tunnel for Pakistan. Whether the presence of one great and God fearing leader can really change our destiny or we need a massive overhaul of our whole society.
The book is a must read for people who think that views of Media, Editorials and Talk Shows really final ?
