Pamela Constable spoke about her book, Playing with Fire: Pakistan at War with Itself, which focused on the political, cultural, and religious complexities existing in modern-day Pakistan. She portrayed a country riddled with corruption, devastated by floods, and terrorized by Islamic extremists. In this interview she recounted her early influences as a writer and spoke of a near-death experience as a reporter in Afghanistan.

Her last book, Fragments of Grace: My Search for Meaning in the Strife of South Asia, was released in 2004.
