In this thoughtful survey of Pakistan's strategic culture, Professor Fair demonstrates that county's legitimate security concerns, but also that they are married to a revisionist anti-Indian and Islamo-nationalistic ideology. This world view permeates not only the armed forces but civil society as well, creating a nation that seems to be permanently at war which, in turn, allows the paramountcy of the army in Pakistan which, in fairness, is one of the very few competent and uncorrupted organizations there. Fair takes a historical viewpoint, tracing the rise of this culture back to pre-independence and partition days, especially in the role of the "one-nation theory." Pakistan's emphasis on armed strength, jihad and lack of flexibility in issues such as Kashmir makes it certain that the country will remain militaristic, poor and source of instability in South Asia for the foreseeable future. If this troubled region interests you, this book is a must-read, in spite of the fact that it's a bit of a slog.
This book gives a very comprehensive view of Pakistan today. Thank you, C. Christine Fair for writing this book, since it needed to be written! This books should be compulsory reading material for those dealing with Pakistan so they have a strong footing in history and facts.There are several insights in this book. Examples: Even though the army has never won a war, its definition of “victory†as the ability to challenge India; the enormous resources the military consumes is almost talked about in the media; the ability of Pakistan to play one world power against another to get aid; the analysis on persistent revisionism; the military’s inability manage the country any better than the civilians when it is in power; the inability of US to manage long term vs short term goals; the lack if insight and history of most of the US officials dealing with Pakistan and their potential susceptibility to guilt.Details on the British role in splitting India into two before they left is not addressed in any detail to complete the history. The role Saudi Arabia plays in Pakistan’s radicalization is mentioned only in passing. How Pakistanis are seen by their “brother†Muslims in the middle east, and how most Pakistanis lack a realization of their own duplicity aren’t addressed in any detail. But those are not the focus of the scope of this book. There is also a lot of repetition, but it is not unusual in a scholarly work, and it is left to the reader to grab the points and skip over the repetition. The worst case situation of a nuclear war is mentioned in passing giving pause for thought.The author rightly wonders that with such revisionism (and redefinition of defeat), if the world would stand by and watch when what is considered real defeat by Pakistan army is meted out to it at some point. Some comparison to the German military after WW-I (“we were not defeatedâ€) and why the Allies ended the WW-II in Germany they way they did would have brought some historical perspective here.What Pakistan needs is a focus on the welfare of the civilians, and not the entrenched affluence of the military and the affluent civilian “leaders.†That won’t become a reality till the people demand the military not be a major consumer of the nation’s resources. The author does a very good job of exploring the potential for such change.One more editorial pass (e.g., use of “principle†instead of “principal†in a few places) and removing/reorganizing to reduce repetition, and to make the summary/conclusions more succinct and punchy would have improved the book. It is something for which the reader has to mentally compensate. In summary, it is a 'must read' book for any South Asia watcher.
An Excellent book and very well researched. This book is painstakingly well researched and author has spent considerable amount to effort to write this book. After reading this book I completely understand the behavior of Pakistani Army and its various war strategies.The thing that stands out is that Author takes direct references from Pakistani Army Greenbook.This is a eye-opener for me as I used to get perplexed with the way Pakistani Army use to react.
Professor C. Christine Fair has made a convincing case for the view that the Pakistani Army and State (the Army runs the State in Pakistan) have been unreasonable revisionists from their conception and birth until today. The implications for American foreign policy are clear. The United States should cease providing financial and military assistance to Pakistan and declare it a state sponsor of terrorism. The Pakistani State will not change its behavior unless America and India take drastic measures. The only flaw in the book is the somewhat thin coverage of the sectarian and regional conflicts within Pakistan.
Although the conclusions drawn by Christine Fair has long been known in India, the research is exhaustive and makes the inferences immensely credible. It is a must read for all students of sub continental strategy. That the conclusions are accepted by the world audience is reflected in the relative importance of Indian and Pakistani Prime Minister at world stage. For Pakistan, it is time to take counsel of Hussain Haqqani and get out of the morass that its Army has sunk it into.
Fantastic. Possibly the best book on this thorny subject that is out there. flawless blending of data, logic and years of qualitiative expertise on the subject. Flows beautifully. Fair correctly observes that starting with the Poonch invasion in September 1947, terror has been a state instrument for Pakistan since inception. Over time this pernicious agenda has expanded to include not only taking back Kashmir but also destabilizing India.The ending is quite depressing (it has the virtue of being 110% true). Pakistan judges victory very differently, it see winning by simply 'resisting' - a very low and tough standard to beat.It is a sad confirmation that for the foresseable future, Indians will have to live with a paranoid, confused neighbor bent on being antagonistic...
