Summary: Starts with analysis of the concept of military involvement in politics which in some countries extends into the defence budget and defence industries as well as into other parts of the commercial economy; activities that are in essence for the benefit of senior military ranks. The concept is described as Milbus meaning the military's internal economy. The rest of the book is a study of Milbus in Pakistan from 1947 onwards looking at the wide range of the military's economic interests (from sugar mills to banking), how these have expanded over time, and the effect of these interests on the national economy.
