Check out Anatol Lieven's review of 'Pakistan: Eye of the storm'. I thought Lieven is overly sympathetic to Pakistan's junta and its policies (I cringed when I read "Kargil operation brilliantly executed by the Pakistani Army"), but he did bring up a few excellent points including the fact that Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal alliance won only 11% of the vote in last Oct. and that they could win so much power only because ANP and PPP did not work together.
