A History of the Pakistan Army: Wars and Insurrections (ISBN 0195473345)

Poorly done work:
A very boring and irritating analysis of one of the world's most poorly trained and un-professional armies.Up there in the list of armies who can get the job done are the United states,UK,India etc Unfortunately the Pakistan army needed to do a genocide against the poor Bangaldeshis(3 million is not something to be ignored) to get some attention but that only resulted in their doom at the hands of the Indian army.The positive proof that the pakistan army is one of the world's worst is their employment of Mujahideen who are in fact,better trained and motivated.This book can mislead people as well as force the average pakistani to turn his view towards the military instead of concentrating on food,education,employment etc.It's about time the pakistanis forget about their failed military and take up other duties for their own welfare.

other's reviews:
The 2 reviews with a severely critical but uninformed view of this book are blatantly obvious in their indian propagandist approach. The persons who have written them have not even read the said book.

Stupid topic stupid book:
I don't understand why anyone would want to write a book on a rogue army that has always suffered defeat,humiliation and abused human rights.The pakistan army murdered 3 million innocent bangladeshis in 1971 in the worst genocide of the 21st century.The pakistan army is one of the most poorly trained and undisciplined armies in the world.Rapes and murders are a plenty. The army brings shame to pakistan.

Propoganda:
Brian Cloughley falls into that category of "experts" who happily serve as mouthpieces for the Pakistan Army. He is neither an expert on South Asia, nor a scholar, and his book is not an objective attempt to examine the Pakistan Army. Given his own history, and the volume of his editorials in Pakistani newspapers, where he has ever shown himself ready to defend Pakistan and its Army against any and all criticism, as well as promote the Army's opinion that its control of Pakistan is superior to any rule by politicians or mere "civilians", the contents of his books should be examined from the perspective that this is how the Pakistan Army views itself and would like others to see it. For a much better, but still sympathetic treatment, of the Pakistan Army look to Pakistan Army.

Enjoyable read:
Nice. Very nice. Its fun to read a book that describes at close quarters one of the finest armies of the world. It sounds a bit condescending towards the polticians, but anyways, that's not its main focus. It does justice to its subject and is very accurate, less some minor fallacies....
