  Waziristan is a remote district of Pakistan populated by fiercely independent tribes who owe allegiance to no one and unite only to repel invaders or wage jihad. This book captures the essence of Waziristan's tribal culture, explains how the British managed to contain this volatile area, and provides insight into why Bin Laden chose to hide there.
