4.0 out of 5 stars An informative chronicle of the psyche of Pakistan Army, October 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Pakistan Army (1998 Edition) (Paperback)

The author has really exhibited a knack of thoroughly analysing the psyche of a third world,s most important Armies, which is truly concerned not only with the external security of the country but is also vigilant of the internal foes, threatening not only the solidarity of the country but also posing a menace to it's (Army's) own position in the country.Author has shown a remarkable insight in to the subconcious thought process of the Army ,it's transformation brought about by the subsequent wars of 47,65 and finally the debacle of 71. The propensity of the national political leaders for leaning on this institution once in the quagmire of trouble, and the physical and mental approach of the Army towards the political and stratigical challenges posed by the external and enternal foes alike.
