Owen Bennett-Jones has delivered a well-crafted, clear, balanced and often quite lively account that should be immensely useful to Americans who want to understand this difficult ally."--Thomas W. Lippman, Washington Post Book World "Analytically probing . . . and gives a clear picture of how Pakistan has arrived at such a parlous state."--Sumit Ganguly, Foreign Affairs "Jones masterfully explores the historical, institutional, ideological and class forces that have created the fine mess that is today's Pakistan."--Emran Qureshi, Globe and Mail "[ Pakistan ]contains judiciously selected cartoons, superbly reproduced photographs of Pakistani leaders, and evocative images of soldiers and street demonstrations. . . . [This] book is worthwhile for its sound analysis of the Pakistan Army. Highly recommended. All levels/collections."-- Choice "Clear and entertaining. . . . An excellent guide to the complexities of this critical corner of the world. . . . Well worth reading."--Jonathan M. House, History: Reviews of New Books "It is a clear and concise analysis of Pakistan's political sociology Perhaps his style of journalistic writing and insight makes the book appealing. . . .

For anyone interested in the history of Pakistan and in putting into context events in the region today, this book is very helpful."--Miriam Donohoe, Irish Times "I found it difficult to put down. . . . Bennett Jones has that rare objectivity and realism that are the fruits of many years' reporting and presenting on Pakistan for the various current affairs programmes of the World Service. . . . For the general reader who expects Pakistan to give the world some hair-raising moments over the next few years, the cost of this book is justified by its introductory and concluding chapters alone."--Hazhir Teimourian, Literary Review "Bennett Jones's intelligent book is an excellent source of information."--Anatol Lieven, London Review of Books "[An] excellent book. . . . Jones lays out these key issues [the government, ethnic and linguistic divides, the military, the atomic bomb, religious extremism] and shows why they are important for the region and the world. . . .

Grau, Military Review "Owen Bennett-Jones' Pakistan is the essential primer on this nation's short, turbulent history."--Anne Wagner, National Journal "Pakistan is at the center of global concerns about terrorism, Islamic fundamentalism, and nuclear proliferation.

However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (#356798982438)
