In 1947, India and Pakistan were partitioned by their former colonial ruler, Great Britain. A job that should have taken ten-years was done in a few months. Britain, drained by two world wars in 40-years, no longer had the will or the money to guide the subcontinent to a peaceful partition by consensus. More importantly, the subcontinent was impatient for Britain's departure. The British left in haste, leaving unresolved the issue of Kashmir. This triggered five wars between the new states: 1947-48, 1965, 1971, 1999 and continuing insurgency/counterinsurgency that began in 1987. Two other potential wars were narrowly averted in 1987-88 and 2001-02, and a limited one fought in 1999. Since the basic issue remains unresolved, the next war may be only a matter of time.\n\nIn 1970, East Pakistan voted for independence and armed rebellion. A quick and nasty counterinsurgency suppressed the rebellion. India, seizing the chance to change the balance of power, first backed East Pakistan, then on 21 and 22 November 1971 invaded with eight divisions. India planned also to attack West Pakistan to recover Kashmir, but at the last moment the offensive was called off due to Soviet pressure. Pakistan attacked pre-emptively, and an all-out war resulted. East Pakistan was overrun by India on 16 December; the US and Soviet forced a ceasefire in the West only a day later. For the first time in 800 years, a predominantly Hindu army defeated a Muslim army.\n\nThrough extensive use of official records and participant recollections, rare photography and authentic colour profiles, Ravi Rikhye tells the captivating story of the biggest military conflict fought between India and Pakistan to date, and the war that resulted in emergence of Bangladesh as an independent nation.

To say that the Pakistan Air Force has an eventful history would not be an overstatement. Right from inception it was in the thick of things supporting ground troops in Kashmir, while trying to stand on its own feet. Two major wars ensued in which it performed well against a numerically superior force. Eagles of Destiny covers the early years of Royal Pakistan Air Force, while still being led by seconded Royal Air Force personnel and operating under a British model, through to being led by Pakistani officers and its transformation into a first-rate tactical force based on the American approach to air operations. The acquisition of assets under British leadership and later via the American Mutual Defence Assistance Program are covered in detail as are the resulting changes in operational concepts. The major wars with India during 1965 and 1971 are also covered in detail, including the intervening period, where an American arms embargo brought in drastic changes and a flare for improvisation.\n \nEagles of Destiny is based on extensive research conducted over more than 20 years, including interviewing large number of officers, many of whom shaped the events along with access to numerous British, American and Pakistani archives.\n \nEagles of Destiny is illustrated by hundreds of unique photographs, some never published before, giving a visual treat and insight into those days.

Il libro, nato dalla collaborazione scientifica tra Sapienza Università di Roma e Istituto Italiano per l'Africa e l'Oriente, tratta del complesso buddhistico di Tokar-Dara 1 nella Valle dello Swat, architetture riferibili alla cultura del Gandhara pakistano. I manufatti, ormai allo stato di abbandono e decadimento, richiedono immediati interventi di conservazione e valorizzazione volti ad assicurare tale unica ricchezza ai tempi futuri. Si tratta di un contesto architettonico e paesaggistico di grande interesse oggi in gravi condizioni dovute alla situazione economica e sociale del Paese ma anche al disinteresse della comunità internazionale. In tale contesto è stata impostata una prima fase conoscitiva comprensiva di repertorio fotografico e rilievo metrico; si analizzano, inoltre, problematiche e possibilità conservative legate al tema delle rovine, nodo concettuale della disciplina del restauro architettonico.

Categoria: Libri e riviste
This fully illustrated study explores the armies of the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain states within what are now India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal during the period AD 500-1500, as well as Afghanistan until the early 13th century AD.\n\nFollowing the emergence of a distinct 'medieval Indian' civilization in the Late Classical and Early Medieval periods, there was a prolonged struggle between this civilization and that of the eastern Islamic world, concluding with the rise of the Mughal Empire at the start of the 16th century. In this fully illustrated study, David Nicolle investigates the traditions and enduring conservatism of non-Islamic medieval Indian warfare, notably evident in recruitment patterns and the significance of archery and cavalry. The role and impact of war-elephants, both positive and negative, are also considered, as well as the influence of climate and weather (notably the seasonal monsoon) on warfare in this region. As well as assessing arms and armour - contrasting the advanced technology and high status of Indian weapons (especially swords) with the remarkable lack of metallic armour in the region during this period - the author also explores siege warfare and riverine and naval warfare in South Asia. This book assesses the contributing factors identified by those who have sought to explain why the huge wealth and substantial populations of the traditional non-Islamic Indian states did not prevent their persistent failure in the face of Islamic invasion and conquest.

On May 2, 2011, at 1:03 a.m. in Pakistan, a satellite uplink was sent from the town of Abbottabad crackling into the situation room of the White House in Washington, D.C.: 'Geronimo, Echo, KIA'. These words, spoken by a Navy SEAL, put paid to Osama bin Laden's three-decade-long career of terror. This is the story of Bin Laden's relentless hunters and how they took down the terrorist mastermind, told by Chuck Pfarrer, a former assault element commander of SEAL Team Six. After talking to members of the SEAL team involved in the raid, Pfarrer shares never-before-revealed details of the historic raid and the men who planned and conducted it in an exclusive boots-on-the-ground account of what happened during each minute of the mission - both inside the building and outside. Pfarrer takes readers inside the operation as the SEALs flew over the wall of Bin Laden's shabby compound and then penetrated deeper and deeper into the terrorist's lair, telling us just what it looked, sounded, and smelled like in that sweltering Pakistani suburb. He takes us to the exact spot where the al-Qaeda leader was cowering when the bullet entered his head.\nSEAL Target Geronimo is an explosive story of unparalleled valour, clockwork military precision, and deadly accuracy carried out by one of the most elite fighting forces in the world - the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six.

Il 1° settembre 1995, al capezzale di un amico, Diana, da poco separata, incontra l'uomo che avrebbe cambiato per sempre la sua vita: il chirurgo pakistano Hasnat Khan. È tutto fuorché il suo tipo: sovrappeso, fumatore, dedito solo al lavoro, schivo e musulmano. Eppure in lui trova quello che ha sempre cercato: una persona seria e responsabile, disponibile verso gli altri, indifferente al lato mondano, con un forte senso della famiglia. Pur di conquistarlo, si traveste per passare inosservata nei locali jazz che lui frequenta, impara a cucinare, studia con impegno l'Islam. È una donna nuova, di giorno in giorno rifiorisce e si dedica con più slancio alle attività umanitarie. Nel maggio 1997 vola in Pakistan per incontrare la famiglia di Hasnat. Se quel giorno le cose fossero andate diversamente, gli eventi di quella tragica estate non si sarebbero mai verificati. Poco dopo i due si lasciano, per l'incapacità di Hasnat di reggere il peso delle pressioni sociali, culturali, mediatiche. Lei non si rassegna e gioca la carta della gelosia, facendosi fotografare in compagnia di Dodi al-Fayed. Quella che per fonti molto vicine a Diana era solo finzione si spinge fino all'incidente del 31 agosto 1997. Attraverso testimonianze dirette, Kate Snell ci restituisce il ritratto umanissimo di una donna fragile, alla disperata ricerca d'amore e approvazione, e ricostruisce la storia di un legame grande e impossibile, l'unico che restituì un fugace sorriso alla principessa triste.
