About the author

Air Marshal Mohammad Asghar Khan was the Pakistan air force's first native commander. Entering politics after a storied tenure, Khan became one of the country's most prominent proponents of democratic rule. His works largely document Pakistan's drift towards military dictatorship and his own ultimately unsuccessful political struggle.

[V. Subhash · Rating 4 out of 5]

Asghar Khan was Air Force chief in Pakistan at that time. An interesting anecdote involves top Army brass getting drunk and trying to uproot a massive tree with their bare hands.

[Farooq Khichi · Rating 5 out of 5]

An interesting read. Provides the reader with the basic backdrop of the first major Indo-Pak war.
