Hardback. Condición: Very Good. In recent years, Pakistan has changed from being a state of regional strategic significance to one of major global importance. Its geographical position and delicate religious mix, coupled with a complex political structure and its status as a nuclear power, have ensured that its actions--and inactions--have attracted close scrutiny since 9/11 and the declaration of the 'War on Terror.' Yet there remains widespread dis-agreement among political and military analysts as to the real position of this enigmatic nation. In War, Coups, and Terror, Brian Cloughley explores the underbelly of Pakistan's military and its controversial role within the Pakistani government since Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto came to power in 1971. An insider with links to Pakistan's past and present senior officers, Cloughley provides a unique insight into the Army's influence and position as a force in the fight against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, as well as an account of operations against the 2003-2004 tribal uprising. His coverage of military-political relations will fascinate those who seek a closer understanding of this enigmatic and complex country, its ambitions, affiliations, and loyalties.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. It's 1881 and a US Army unit led by Colonel Joseph Kindred, the military's most famous Indian fighter, has been ordered to remove 1,500 Colorado Ute from their homeland to a new reservation in Utah as retribution for the massacre of an Indian agent the previous year. When, in a fit of rage, Colonel Kindred murders a beloved Ute sub-chief, an investigation follows, and Kindred, a decorated Civil War veteran, faces the possibility of a court-martial and the end of his military career. Eventually, the trial is ordered, and a young former corporal, Hiram Marlow, is called on to testify against his former superior-a task that forces him to recall events he'd rather forget and casts a shadow over his own future. A sweeping story that examines the realities of racism, duty versus honor, and the nature of revenge, Red, White & Army Blue exposes the dark side of Manifest Destiny and the American Dream. …
