{"product_id":"9781640841154","title":"Pakistan: In Search of a Messiah","description":"\u003cp\u003eTechnically this book is my memoirs. In essence, it is a record of my perceptions of those consequential events that shaped the history of Pakistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA greater part of this history I have seen, lived with and felt as a reasonably literate and sensitive individual. Sensitivity intensifies compassion as well as pain. I have had more than a fair share of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI was a college student when Ayub Khan declared his Martial Law. I was a captain when he left. I had taken part in 1965 and 1971 Indo- Pak wars. I was a major and part of the degraded Army in erstwhile East Pakistan. I was a prisoner of war for the two longest years of my life in India. As I grew in age and rank I became more and more aware and involved in the National affairs. I was one of the first ones outside Musharraf’s inner circle to know about the reality of Kargil. I saw him take over the country. I retired with the hope that he would deliver and put Pakistan back on a historic course to real democracy. It was not because I had great faith in his abilities. But I thought as I do even today that a genuine man on top is worth many a hypocritical genius.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apollo Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47182936178928,"sku":"9781640841154","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781640841154_p0.jpg?v=1763685470","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781640841154","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
