In recent years, Pakistan has changed from being a state of regional strategic significance to one of major global importance. Its geographical position and delicate religious mix, coupled with a complex political structure and its status as a nuclear power, have ensured that its actions - and inactions - have attracted close scrutiny since 9/11 and the declaration of the "War on Terror". Yet there remains widespread disagreement among political and military analysts as to the real position of this enigmatic nation.
In War, Coups, and Terror, Brian Cloughley explores the underbelly of Pakistan's military and its controversial role within the Pakistani government since Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto came to power in 1971. An insider with links to Pakistan's past and present senior officers, Cloughley provides a unique insight into the Army's influence and position as a force in the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, as well as an account of operations against the 2003-2004 tribal uprising. His coverage of military-political relations will fascinate those who seek a closer understanding of this enigmatic and complex country, its ambitions, affiliations, and loyalties.

A veteran of both the British and Australian armies with ties to senior members of the Pakistani military, Brian Coughley provides a unique insight into the controversial role the Army has played within the government since Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's rise to power in 1971. Fleet Cooper is assertive yet unassuming when need be, allowing Coughley's intensive research to take prominence. War, Coups, and Terror is an in-depth, insider look at the mix of religion, politics, and military influence in the history of this complicated nation.

That said; the author is the most qualified person to record Pakistan's recent history, having spoken to and worked with the men that participated in these events. I got this book as a source for a paper I'm writing for college, and this fills exactly what I need. I'll say this book is good for people who have little knowlege of Pakistan's contorted history as well as researchers who want a first hand account.
Overall pretty good.
