Writing a fictional book on the AFPAK war

[53fd]

So I just want you guys to run by some ideas here for writing such a book. The things I would concentrate on is:

a) Pashtun culture, their different tribes, the relationships between the different tribes. The regional dialect differences in Pashto as well.

b) The 'precise' geography (towns) of the FATA & the Eastern Afghanistan provinces, & the relationship between the tribes in the FATA to their corresponding ones in E.Afghanistan, across the Durand Line.

c) A fictional account of the ISI network in the AfPak region. Agents & officers.

d) A fictional account of the CIA network in the AfPak region. Agents & officers.

e) A fictional account of the Afghan, Pakistan, American, Indian, Iran & other governments collaborating.

f) A fictional account of the different Taliban leaders from different regions in the AfPak region, & how different terrorist groups collaborated with (or contested against) each other, & who their loyalties were with. The relationships between their different groups.

g) How the tribals viewed these terrorists. How the terrorists brainwashed some of the tribals (showing Madrassah indoctrination), & how the tribals fought against the terrorists.

h) A detailed insight into the secret drone program

i) Covert operations inside the AfPak region

j) OBL raid

I would write it from a first person narrative, of someone's personal experiences, & deep exposure to all these aspects. Can any of you guys give me your feedback, & opinions as well?

Making a (realistic) movie of the AfPak war would be great, but of course, it wouldn't be feasible. It wouldn't be realistic enough, & would seem like it was shot in Los Angeles or some other city.

If its purely fictional, watch some Zaid Hamids videos. It will help you.

Jokes apart, great idea to work upon. Just like the rivalry and spy movies based on USSR vs US.

That's why I come to the PDF often, & read comments from all posters, & look up different sources for news. I am also reading up a lot on the literature of the tribes from the FATA, in trying to understand everything I've mentioned in my first post. I hope to start writing a book in my spare time soon, but I have to collect the material first. Cheers.
