    A good book about Pakistan particularly for those who want to travel to this country. It starts from ancient civilization of Indus valley and also covers Mughal period. The more emphasis is on events after 1947 and how the war in afghanistan has affected this country.

    I am author of this book which covers history of Sub-continent India particularly of Indus region which is now known as Pakistan. This is my second book. Book starts from arrival of Muslims in the area to establishment of their rule over a predominantly Hindu population country. Architecture and culture which flourished during Mughal Era is depicted through text and pictures. Book also covers arrival of Europeans in this region and than English rule. Britain ruled Delhi city from 1857 to 1957 and the impact they had in this area. Scenarios which led to the creation of Pakistan and India in August 1947 after partioning of English ruled India are discussed in detail. Both countries still do not trust each other after 62 years of independence and during this period they had 3 full scale wars with numerous battles. Indus region is now facing war on terror and the book covers what conditions led this war to be fought here. Book also had a complete chapter as a travel guide for those who are interested to visit Pakistan.
