Book Review of The Army and Democracy: Military Politics in Pakistan

In the International Journal of Military History and Historiography Volume 37, Issue 2 (2017), Frank O’Donnell reviewed Aqil Shah’s The Army and Democracy: Military Politics in Pakistan.

“This book serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, analysts and policymakers seeking to understand the precise nature of military influence in Pakistan’s political development, and evaluate its prospects for deepening democratisation. The volume traces the origins, perpetuation, and consequences of military dominance in the evolution of Pakistan’s national politics and institutions.”
