Why Indian Army and Pakistan Army Failed in 1965 War
ForewordMajor (retd) Agha Humayun Amin is a rare type of army officer. He is a philosopher, debater and a very keen scholar of military affairs. His writings are prolific. He does not hesitate to call into question received wisdom and dares to explode sacred myths behind which military establishments generally hide their blunders and failures. I have benefited a great deal from his scholarly contribution on the Pakistan Army and have cited and quoted him in my book, Pakistan: The Garrison State – Origins, Evolution, Consequences (1947-2011). I particularly found his work very useful to understand the Kashmir War of 1947-48 and the 1965 war. I am therefore truly privileged to note that he h...

The 23 Division was the only formation whose performance was appreciated even by the enemy.Thus the following was the opinion of various Indians about the war performance of 23 Division and General Eftikhar:-"Major General Iftikhar Khan, the Divisional Commander, showed skill and determination in carrying out his misison.

WHEN GIANTS DIE
From the opulent heights of Baku, in North Azerbaijan, Russia, Mikael Ahmadov's family once reigned as oil barons, their wealth flowing from lucrative exports to destinations like Tbilisi, Georgia. However, in 1934, the Red Communist Army's seizure of their assets plunged them into exile in Iran, where their fortune dwindled. Yet from these depths, Mikael rose. With resilience born of adversity, he pursued education and found his calling at the Merchant Marine Academy. Six years aboard freighters honed his skills until Amoco Oil Co. recognized his talent, appointing him captain of a super crude oil tanker. In 1976, seeking new horizons, Mikael, with his wife and four children, embarked on a journey to the United States. There, he reinvented himself in the realm of real estate, leveraging his expertise gained in the oil industry and entrepreneurial spirit to carve a path to success. This is the remarkable odyssey of Mikael Ahmadov—a saga of resilience, reinvention, and triumph against the odds.

Towards a Modern Iran
First Published in 1980. The events which took place in Iran during the time of original publication took the world by surprise. A little reflection however will suggest that they were not inexplicable prodigies. They constitute rather a manifestation, albeit sudden and astonishing, of a social, intellectual and political crisis in the throes of which Iran has found itself. The eleven studies included in this book are devoted to the examination of one or other aspect of this crisis and aim to clarify the origins and character of the crisis.
History of Pakistan Army - Volume Two - 1948 to 1965 War
The peculiar socio-political circumstances and historical factors amidst which a country is born, play a decisive and formative role in the qualitative efficiency as well as political outlook of an army. Thus the Israeli Army like the state of Israel was acutely conscious of the more than two thousand years of persecution which the Jews had suffered and determined to fight and die for the many century old dream of a Jewish state. The Red Army created by the military organisational genius of Leon Trotsky was again a highly motivated body of men resolved at all cost to fight for the preservation of the ideals of the Russian Revolution.The Khalsa Sikh Army created by Ranjit Singh was the final ...
An Introduction to the Causes of War
This pioneering book, now thoroughly updated to incorporate important research, explains the causes of war through a sustained combination of theoretical insights and detailed case studies. Cashman and Robinson find that while all wars have multiple causes, certain factors typically combine in identifiable “dangerous patterns.” Through their examination of World War I, World War II in the Pacific, the Six-Day War, the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971, the Iran-Iraq War, and the US invasion of Iraq, the authors lay out the complex multilevel processes by which disputes between countries erupt into bloody conflicts. Ideal for a range of courses in international relations at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, this focused text clearly explains theory and applies it to concrete case-study examples in a way that allows students to fully understand the origins of war.
