{"product_id":"9781633559479","title":"Pakistan","description":"When the British Empire partitioned its Indian colony in 1947, it created two independent states: India, where most people were Hindus, and Pakistan, where most were Muslims. Violence immediately broke out, during which approximately 250,000 people were killed and a million became refugees. Since then Pakistan and India have fought several wars, and tensions between the two countries during the late 1990s nearly led to another conflict-one that might have been devastating, as both countries now possess nuclear weapons. This book examines the economic and political issues facing Pakistan today. It provides up-to-date information about the country's geography and climate, history, society, important cities and communities, and relations with other countries.","brand":"Mason Crest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130794197232,"sku":"9781633559479","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781633559479_p0.jpg?v=1763677270","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781633559479","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
