520			_aComprehensive history of Pakistan's Army (and to a much lesser extent the Navy and Air Force) which shows how the Army became increasingly involved in Pakistan's politics to the point where "... its influence pervades civil society in ways that are pernicious, and in tasks for which it has not been trained." (author's preface). The book also covers Pakistan's close military ties with the USA, the break with East Pakistan, the various conflicts with India, and involvement in Afghanistan and with the Taliban. An appendix gives parallel timelines of military and civil events. Bibliography, index.
