I finished Jerusalem by Simon Sebag Montefiore a year ago, and it’s been haunting my thoughts ever since. 🕊️🔥 I’m planning to dive back in—because some cities, some histories, are too wild and intense to experience just once.

The Nine Lives of Pakistan isn’t just about politics—it’s about people trying to live, dream, and survive in a country constantly pulled in different directions.
Declan Walsh weaves stories of spies, activists, soldiers, and ordinary citizens into a portrait that’s messy, beautiful, and heartbreaking all at once.

It made me see Pakistan not as headlines, but as human lives—each with its own fragile thread.

Directorate S is the kind of book that makes you question whether anyone was ever really in control of the war in Afghanistan. Steve Coll takes you behind the scenes of the CIA, the ISI, and the Taliban—and the tangled web of mistrust and miscalculation that kept the conflict burning for years.

It’s not just history—it’s a lesson in how secrets and alliances can quietly shape the fate of nations.

Reading Black Flags felt like watching a slow-motion disaster you couldn’t stop. Joby Warrick traces how a prison in Jordan became the seedbed for one of the world’s most feared terrorist groups. It’s terrifying, detailed, and impossible to put down.

It left me wondering—how many future nightmares are already quietly growing somewhere right now?

When I finished reading Ghost Wars, my brain feels like it’s been through a geopolitical chess match. 🥴

Steve Coll takes you deep into the messy, secret world of CIA operations in Afghanistan before 9/11—and it’s not the clear-cut spy thriller I expected. It’s complicated, frustrating, and eye-opening.

Makes you realize how many of the world’s biggest disasters are built on years of quiet mistakes.
