The definitive, inside story and historical analysis of the Pakistan army examines the army in peace and war and takes you behind today's headlines. It explains the turbulent relationship of the army with the Pakistani state and its major foreign ally, the United States. Using many hitherto unpublished materials from the archives of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the General Headquarters of the Pakistan army, as well as interviews with major military
and political figures in Pakistan and the United States, he sheds light not only on the Pakistan army and its US connections but also on Pakistan as a key Muslim country in one of the world's toughest
neighbourhoods. In doing so, he lays bare key facts about Pakistan's numerous wars with India and its many rounds of political musical chairs, as well as the Kargil conflict of 1998. He then draws lessons from this history that may help Pakistan end its wars within and create a more stable political entity.
