This work is a candid account of the Pakistan army. The author describes its evolution, its brutal suppression of the former East Wing (now Bangladesh), the events leading to the overthrow of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1977, and other dramatic episodes.

This is an in-depth study of the Pakistan Army. The scope of this book is wide because field marshals and generals ruled the country for many years. The author describes Pakistan's violent internal politics and erratic international relations in the context of military involvement, with the deep knowledge gained through long associations with the country and its armed forces.
