description: This is an in-depth study of the Pakistan Army. 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 association with the country and its armed forces. The most important aspect of this new edition is the chapter which covers the army coup of 1999. There is analysis of the political aspects of the post-coup years, and examination of the army's budget, procurement, capabilities and deployment in support of the US "War on Terror", notably its campaign in Waziristan in 2004-2005.
