The new book of the journalist Ahmed Rashid, “Descent Into Chaos”, is an investigation into the failure of nation building in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia and the threat from radical Islam.

The BBC’s Soutik Biswas spoke with Rashid about this book and the situation in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Central Asia: “'Militancy will not run out of steam":
