There was a long excerpt in the London Review of Books a few weeks ago, which is probably still on their web-site. It struck me as quite good except that Ali seems to over-emphasize the degree to which secular forces exists in places like Pakistan. My impression (based in part on reports from relatives in Northern India and Pakistan) is that there are secular reminents but they are dwindling and endangered.
