Description and Table of Contents

Description

This work is a candid account of the Pakistan army. The author describes its evolution, its brutal suppression of the former East Wing (now Bangladesh), the events leading to the overthrow of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1977, and other dramatic episodes. This revised edition contains a chapter which describes the resignation of the Army Chief in 1998 (giving his hitherto unpublished personal reasons), and the intrusion into the Indian-administered territory of Kashmir by Pakistan-backed militants in 1999. The author makes use of the information provided by senior foreign officials as well as highly-placed Indian and Pakistani sources.
