"Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf’s just-released memoir, "In the Line of Fire," breaks sharply with the political tradition of publishing only pabulum while still in office... General Musharraf’s tell-all, released yesterday as the Pakistani leader was in the midst of a U.S. visit, has exposed U.S. blustering after September 11, revealed bounties paid for capturing al Qaeda terrorists, and angered India with its account of a still-contested 1999 clash over the disputed Kashmir region... It has also earned a unique televised endorsement from President Bush at his joint press conference with the general last week and generated a pre-release buzz that a publicist for a rival publishing house called "priceless."" - Washington Times

"The unusual decision by Pervez Musharraf to publish his memoirs while still in office provides a candid account of the Pakistani president's conflicts with both allies and rivals alike.
His book, "In the Line of Fire," contains explosive allegations on how far the United States went in persuading Islamabad to join the "war on terror" and a first-hand account of see-sawing relations with arch rival India." - Agence France Presse
