Description: Major General Aboobaker Osman Mitha remains a legend in the Pakistan Army. His aptly named memoir Unlikely Beginnings A soldier's life is perhaps the most authentic account of  British Indian Army and the Pakistan Army. He was born in a fabulously rich family in Bombay, India. However, he chose soldiery as a profession and raised the famed Special Services Group (SSG) of the Pakistan Army. His book is an engaging account of interest to all readers; military officers, students of history, politics as well as the average reader interested in learning what dedicated soldiery is all about.
