Trinity University Distinguished Lecture Series | PERVEZ MUSHARRAF

The Trinity University Distinguished Lecture Series presents former President of Pakistan
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF
The World as I See It

Thurs., September 17, 2009 | 7:30 pm | Laurie Auditorium

Occupying what TIME magazine described as “the most dangerous job in the world,” Pakistan’s president from 2001-2008 Pervez Musharraf survived two assassination attempts, rooted out militants in his government, helped direct raids against Al Qaeda, and was one of America’s greatest allies in fighting the Taliban. His keen sense of geo-strategic realities and various conflict regions resulted in his articulation of a strategy of “enlightened moderation” for bringing harmony into distraught regions of the world. President Musharraf’s astonishingly revealing memoir, In the Line of Fire, chronicles his struggles for the security and political future of his nation, with high stakes for the world at large.
