Thanks Ethan, your book is an insider’s view of the real situation in Pakistan. We really appreciate all your efforts for Pakistan.

At a time when Americans are grasping at straws trying to understand South Asia – and the Pakistan-India nexus in particular – Ethan Casey’s book is fun and required reading.

If you’ve ever wondered why Kashmir is one of the planet’s shortest fuses, and why two nations that have so much in common are so suspicious of one another, Overtaken By Events is the book to read first.

Hi Ethan,just finished your book,very interesting…am glad I brought it with me read it on my visit to karachi..what with the plane crash,the floods and now the unrest in karachi..there were so many things I could relate..missed reading more on karachi but even then loved it.

Ethan,

I found ‘Overtaken by Events’ to be everything I had hoped it would be … a serious read about real people going about their daily endeavors in a country about which I know precious little. We can not all be expert, or even familiar, in every world region – and so books such as yours are imperative for readers who wish to open that window, unfiltered, onto countries that major US media do nothing meaningfully to examine.

Were it not for ‘Alive & Well’, ‘Overtaken’ and, I’m confident, your upcoming ‘Bearing the Bruise’, we’ll all go merrily along believing those whom we don’t know to be ‘terrorists’, ‘poor’, and benighted. Thank you for doing your bit to open that window.
