From Prehistory to the Early Twentieth Century
Sultan-i-Rome
Beginning with details of its nomenclature and geography, the
book continues with covering and thoroughly examining and
discussing the prehistory and protohistoric periods of Swat,
different aspects of Alexander of Macedonia’s invasion, the
period from the Mauryas to the Hindu Shahis, religious
perspective of Swat, Muslims’ occupation and pre-Yusufzi’s

of more than fifty research articles in academic journals, books,

The Betrayal of East Pakistan
Lt. Gen. A.A.K. Niazi
Lt. Gen. A.A.K. Niazi of the Eastern Command was the man
whose fate it was to direct the operation which resulted in the
dismemberment of Pakistan. Many books have been written
about that unforgettable year in Pakistan’s history, 1971, and
the terrible events that it spawned. But finally one of the main
actors of the drama has volunteered his own account of the
events leading to the disaster. This book fills a huge gap in the
recorded history of the period, which could hardly be considered
complete or authentic without the contribution of such a major
protagonist. 2021

1Annexation and the Unhappy Valley

Matthew A. Cook
This book addresses the nineteenth century expansion and
consolidation of British colonial power in the Sindh region of
South Asia. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach and employs
a fine-grained, nuanced, and situated reading of multiple
agents and their actions. It explores how the political and
administrative incorporation of territory (i.e., annexation) by
East India Company informs the conversion of intra-cultural
distinctions into socio-historical conflicts amongst the
2021
colonized and colonizers. The book focuses on colonial direct

3The Punjab under Imperialism 1885 -1947
Imran Ali
This comprehensive survey of British rule in the Punjab
demonstrates that colonial policy-making led to many of the
socio-economic and political problems currently plaguing
Pakistan and Indian Punjab. Subordinating development goals to
its political and military imperatives, the colonial state co-
operated with the dominant social classes, the members of which
became the major beneficiaries of agricultural colonization. Even
while the rulers tried to use the vast resources of the Punjab to
advance imperial purposes, they were themselves being used by
2021 their collaborators to advance implacable private interests. Such

Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan
His Life and Times
Stanley Wolpert
Bhutto was a charismatic and contradictory man. He climbed
the heights of power with amazing swiftness, winning a seat in
the central Cabinet of Pakistan at the unprecedented age of
thirty. Wolpert weaves Pakistan’s turbulent politics and
repeated wars with India together with Bhutto’s ambitious
manoeuvring, tracing his rise as Foreign Minister, to the
founding of his own political party, the PPP, and finally,
leadership of the nation. The story of Bhutto’s sometimes 2021
inspiring and sometimes quixotic career is a fascinating one and 432 pages
Wolpert tells it brilliantly through Bhutto’s triumphant years in Paperback

Impressions of Leadership in Pakistan
Jamsheed Marker
Preface by Stanley Wolpert
A lifetime in the diplomatic service of Pakistan gave Jamsheed
Marker a unique vantage point—in cricket terms, he was at
cover point, i.e. ‘near enough to the wicket to follow the action
around the stumps…yet sufficiently distant for a general
overview of the state of play’. This work relates the first-hand
impressions of Mr Marker, which he garnered during his
illustrious career, starting with Quaid-i-Azam M.A. Jinnah up
2021
220 pages until the rule of General Pervez Musharraf.
