Thanks for considering the idea... think you can generate a poll.... and see how many people are interested... even if you get few people... others will develop their interest and gradually the interest will increase...

The Tigers of Baluchistan by
Sylvia Matheson
Description: For five years, the author lived among the Bugtis, traditionally known as the tigers of Baluchistan, who are one of the most distinguished Baluch tribes of Pakistan. She travelled extensively in remote parts of tribal territory, sharing a tough primitive way of life unchanged for centuries and recording it on tape, cine, and still films. The result is a fascinating and very vivid eyewitness account of how the Bugtis are dealing with their sudden confrontation with twentieth century industrialization, following the discovery and development of Asia’s largest natural gas field inside their area.

Pakistan—A Dream Gone Sour
By [FONT="]Roedad Khan[/FONT]
Description:
In this unique insider’s view of those who have been at the helm of Pakistan’s affairs since 1958, Roedad Khan, from his vantage point as a senior civil servant, narrates the rise and fall of five presidents and the role of the sixth. He also examines national institutions and seeks to assess the future of democracy in Pakistan.
We’ve Learnt Nothing from History Pakistan: Politics and Military Power
By
[FONT="]M. Asghar Khan[/FONT]
Description:
The book focuses on the early entry of Pakistan’s armed forces into the country’s politics and the struggle for the restoration of democracy from 1968 onwards. The author played an important role in this struggle, leading a movement against Ayub Khan that resulted in his ouster, and later, opposing Yahya Khan when he refused to hand over power to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the Awami League after they won a clear majority in the 1970 elections. In addition, the author reviews the events that led to the re-entry, in 1999, of the armed forces into politics after a short and turbulent period of ‘democracy’, and provides some insights into possible political developments in Pakistan in the future. About the Author / Editor M. Asghar Khan was born in Jammu, Kashmir State, in 1921, and was educated at the Royal Indian Military College, Dehra Dun. He joined the Indian Military Academy in 1939. After Partition, he was posted as the Commandant of the PAF College, Risalpur. He commanded the Pakistan Air Force from 1957 to 1965, and was its first Commander-in-Chief. In November 1968, he led a movement for the restoration of democracy, renouncing the awards of Hilal-i-Pakistan and Hilal-i-Quaid-i-Azam as a mark of protest against the government’s policy of suppression. In 1972, he formed the Tehrik-i-Istaqlal, remaining party president for 25 years, and was elected to the National Assembly in 1977.

[FONT="]Description:[/FONT]
[FONT="] This volume is based on extracts from the diaries of Air Marshal (Retired) M. Asghar Khan and Tehrik-i-Istiqlal’s record of events from 19 December 1971 to 12 January 1975. M. Asghar Khan has been one of Pakistan’s leading political figures over the last forty years and has made his mark as a man of integrity and standing in political circles. This book serves to outline his efforts to propel Pakistan towards democracy, and completes the picture of his life in politics presented in his earlier workWe’ve Learnt Nothing from History.[/FONT]

East Pakistan: The Endgame An Onlooker’s Journal
By
[FONT="]Brigadier A. R. Siddiqi[/FONT]
Description:
The 1971 East Pakistan tragedy was not just a failure of the military but also the collapse of the civil society in West Pakistan. The few voices raised against the military action were too feeble to make the army change the course it had set itself leading to a military defeat and the break up of the country. The author’s assessments and forecasting of happenings in East Pakistan are objective, constructive and without any prejudice or bias. This book will contribute much towards the much-needed bridge building between Pakistan and Bangladesh.
