Subject: Great Book
Jonathan Lazarus – RN | Sept 26, 2006

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I received great insight from your book. It's nice to hear viewpoints
that are not like the constant rhetoric of news in this country. Now, is it impolite to ask you to sign my book? It is not
for reason of selling, but rather it would be for my personal satisfaction, to be passed on to my children when I am gone.
Thank you for even the simplest consideration of this favour.

Yours faithfully,
Jonathan Lazarus

Subject: In Line of Fire - "Proud to be a Pakistani Campaign"
Naveed Iqbal - Physician | Sept 28, 2006

Dear Sir,

Dear Mr. President:

Congratulations on a well written book. The one common denominator in your book is the unique and focused perception of "How you have been proud to be a Pakistani", at every stage of your life. This quality at this stage in history of Pakistan, should be turned into a national, non - partisan movement - “Proud to be Pakistani." There are many reasons to be proud; and at this stage it is entirely possible to start such a campaign in Pakistani diaspora and nationally in Pakistan. A non - partisan campaign focused on Pakistan and not on any personalities will go a long way to fulfil your dream of a establishing a modern Pakistan.

Respectfully,
Naveed Iqbal

Subject: Keep up the good work!!!!!
Mustafa Aleem - Tourism Manager | Sept 29, 2006

Dear Mr. President

I write to you in a time when everything is coming out in the open with the release of your booking "In the Line of Fire." Although I am not much familiar with the political scene in Pakistan and I have not lived in Pakistan for a long time, I feel as if what you are doing is good for the country. I am writing this to you as what I see being projected by the media now a day is only criticism for the past and on your comments. Well all what I suggest about the media is that they should look at the good which a person has done along with the bad. Parts of the Country are now starting to have a more normal and STABLE life. This stability will spread; all we need is a little time.

I have my utmost faith in you that as long as you are handling the Country's government, the situation is to improve. Even from the UAE's end I have read in the newspaper that EMAAR properties are also investing heavily in Pakistan. I hope that people realize that if it was not for you, more than likely we will be stuck in the past and not many people will ever want to look at Pakistan as a good investment.

My words can go on and on...but I must end it here

Yours Truly,
Mustafa Aleem

Subject: Loved your book
Sohail Khan - Vice President (JPMorgan Chase Bank) | Oct 15, 2006

Mr. President,

I am a strong supporter of your way of thinking; I recently completed your book, and found it extremely interesting. I think
have been very honest with Pakistan, and have done an excellent job. I would also like to some day come back to Pakistan and
help in whatever I can.

Thank you

Sohail Khan

"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
