But we can discuss anything we like here isnt it?
So the title of the topic is: Good books about Pakistan.
I hardly classify any of them in that category. ISnt Pakistan keen on promoting a 'soft image', as Pakistan is already always associated with wars and terrorism.
What it needs are good books on its historical past, glory, civilisations, natural beauty, yadi yada ya.
Those would indeed be good books about Pakistan.

But unsurprisingly, this is coming from the indian - more so an opinion than anything.

Holy crap! you weren't kidding were you! they are all £70 ($140)

Well since it looks like it was not re-printed, I'm afraid the only way you'll get it is by chance or luck at a cheaper price.

Air battles of PAF...not sure about the authors name but it was an "air marshal". I read half of it. And i loved it.

I have read a little less than 2/3 of IN THE LINE OF FIRE (Pres Musharraf). I liked it as well

Internet version hasn't been released yet. I've read it twice and I'll recommend all friends of Pakistan to buy that book.
