This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something seriously wrong with command and staff college which means that Pakistan Army cannot be an outstandingly effective army unless command and staff college Quetta is reformed. This institutions assessment system is defective, lacks third party audit, not based on any training in field and the biggest conspiracy against all talent and dynamism. My squadron officer Colonel M defined his impressions of staff college . " first day in class, our instructor colonel F openly stated that he was here because of XX Punjab Regiment and will favor Punjab regiment officers ." These were impressions of countless officers that I interviewed. The rot starts from staff college basis of favoritism, parochialism and lack of merit. War course is not really important as the officer efficiency index of an officer is decided by gradings that he receives at command and staff college Quetta. Castration of rights joined by Pakistan Army officers as inherited from British Indian Army Act An army officer till 1951 could not be retired summarily.However after the so called Pindi Conspiracy affair Pakistan Armys chief Ayub Khan, Pakistani Secretary of Defence Iskandar Mirza advised Pakistani premier to amend rules of service regarding retirement of an officer. From now on an army officer could be retired or dismissed by the government as easily as a sweaper ! This is the simple summing up of why a Pakistan Army officer is programmed to be docile. Any officer of any rank could be retired without any reason and this officer could not go to a civil court while in uniform against this decision. An officer was as good or as bad as a personal slave of the Pakistani state.Job security being Nil ! Even the Pakistani politicians failed to give the army personnel the basic constitutional right to appeal enjoyed in India. Thus while ZA Bhutto did allow this initially in constitution in 1973, he immediately took it back once the Attock Conspiracy took place. In 1958 when martial law was clamped, Pakistans military dictator Ayub Khan also castrated Pakistans civil servants. Arbitrary interference of an overpowerful executive and no job security.This is Pakistans issue of governance ! The key issues why Pakistani military has remained structurally weak and slavish raised in this book have never been raised by any so called famous analyst of Pakistan Army.
Book Synopsis The Victorian Army and the Staff College 1854-1914 by : Brian Bond
Download or read book The Victorian Army and the Staff College 1854-1914 written by Brian Bond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering work in British military history, originally published in 1972, this book is both scholarly and entertaining. Although the book concentrates on a single institution, it illuminates a much wider area of social and intellectual change. For the Army the importance of the change was enormous: in 1854 there was neither a Staff College nor a General Staff, and professional education and training were largely despised by the officers: by 1914 the College could justly be described as ‘a school of thought’ while the officers it had trained were coming to dominate the highest posts in Commands and on the General Staff.

Book Synopsis Secession and Security by : Ahsan I. Butt
Download or read book Secession and Security written by Ahsan I. Butt and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Secession and Security, Ahsan I. Butt argues that states rather than separatists determine whether a secessionist struggle will be peaceful, violent, or genocidal. He investigates the strategies, ranging from negotiated concessions to large-scale repression, adopted by states in response to separatist movements. Variations in the external security environment, Butt argues, influenced the leaders of the Ottoman Empire to use peaceful concessions against Armenians in 1908 but escalated to genocide against the same community in 1915; caused Israel to reject a Palestinian state in the 1990s; and shaped peaceful splits in Czechoslovakia in 1993 and the Norway-Sweden union in 1905. Butt focuses on two main cases—Pakistani reactions to Bengali and Baloch demands for independence in the 1970s and India's responses to secessionist movements in Kashmir, Punjab, and Assam in the 1980s and 1990s. Butt's deep historical approach to his subject will appeal to policymakers and observers interested in the last five decades of geopolitics in South Asia, the contemporary Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and ethno-national conflict, separatism, and nationalism more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were fewer than 500 houses in Yateley in WWI but with Aldershot, Farnborough, Camberley and Sandhurst close by, this Hampshire villages response to the call to arms was more prepared than most, and punched above its weight.Using contemporary evidence from many sources researched by our local history team, the Yateley Society recreates the impact of the War on our predecessors. The story of the men who left Yateley to fight -- territorials, regulars, volunteers and conscripts -- is told alongside that of the battalions of Kitcheners New Armies training in trench warfare on Yateley Common. At the same time, in the three private houses forming the Yateley Military Hospital, Yateley women of all ages were tending wounded soldiers.With its intimate glimpses into village life, this book, will fascinate anyone with Yateley connections. The names of many families in the village of 100 years ago are here, while for recent newcomers with perhaps a Victorian or Edwardian house there may be clues to the history of your homes.With its many illustrations and maps, this exploration of the social network, and social consequences of the Great War on a small community in North East Hampshire has interest for historians and general readers alike.
Book Synopsis Pretext for Mass Murder by : John Roosa
Download or read book Pretext for Mass Murder written by John Roosa and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006-08-03 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early morning hours of October 1, 1965, a group calling itself the September 30th Movement kidnapped and executed six generals of the Indonesian army, including its highest commander. The group claimed that it was attempting to preempt a coup, but it was quickly defeated as the senior surviving general, Haji Mohammad Suharto, drove the movement’s partisans out of Jakarta. Riding the crest of mass violence, Suharto blamed the Communist Party of Indonesia for masterminding the movement and used the emergency as a pretext for gradually eroding President Sukarno’s powers and installing himself as a ruler. Imprisoning and killing hundreds of thousands of alleged communists over the next year, Suharto remade the events of October 1, 1965 into the central event of modern Indonesian history and the cornerstone of his thirty-two-year dictatorship. Despite its importance as a trigger for one of the twentieth century’s worst cases of mass violence, the September 30th Movement has remained shrouded in uncertainty. Who actually masterminded it? What did they hope to achieve? Why did they fail so miserably? And what was the movement’s connection to international Cold War politics? In Pretext for Mass Murder, John Roosa draws on a wealth of new primary source material to suggest a solution to the mystery behind the movement and the enabling myth of Suharto’s repressive regime. His book is a remarkable feat of historical investigation. Finalist, Social Sciences Book Award, the International Convention of Asian Scholars
Download or read book In Quest of Freedom written by and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fate of nations during war depends on how well men fight, and these stories tell us how the Indian armed forces and the Mukti Bahini fought for the cause of freedom. Paradoxically, it is the value of 'Love' that was the motivating factor in this war of liberation - love for one's country, love for ones brothers in uniform, love for the people and love for freedom; for it is on the altar of love that men and women in uniform place their lives in the line of fire and are prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice, if need be, so that others may live. It is hoped that these stories inspire the youth of the country and motivate them to join the armed forces – a profession that has no equal.
Book Synopsis War and Peace in Contemporary India by : Rudra Chaudhuri
Download or read book War and Peace in Contemporary India written by Rudra Chaudhuri and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War and Peace in Contemporary India examines the importance of institutions and the role played by international actors in crucial episodes of India’s strategic history. The contributions trace India’s tryst with war and peace from immediately before the foundation of the contemporary Indian state, to the last military conflict between India and Pakistan in 1999. The focus of the chapters included in this edited volume is as much on India as it is on Pakistan and China, its opponents in war. The chapters offer a fresh take on the creation of India as a regional military power, and her approach to War and Peace in the post-independence period. Importantly, it advances the broader work on Indian strategic history during the Cold War and after, an otherwise under-studied intellectual landscape. The book offers fresh insights based on archival work, as well as a closer conceptual reading of Indian, British and American decision making at times of war and peace in contemporary India. This book will be of great interest to scholars, researchers and students interested in strategic studies, diplomatic and military history, international diplomacy, as well as Indian history and politics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Strategic Studies.
