Islamabad, 1 June (AKI/DAWN) – A book shining a critical spotlight on the Pakistani military’s business dealings has been launched and some high-profile political reviewers have seized upon it to denounce the army’s role in Pakistani politics. The book entitled “Military Inc: Inside Pakistan’s Military Economy”, by Dr Ayesha Siddiqa, a military analyst, was due to be launched at the elite Islamabad Club on Thursday. But the author told a surprised audience that not only had the club cancelled the event, “all hotels in Islamabad were also told” by unspecified authorities not to allow the use of their halls for the launch.
The organisers were forced use a room on the third floor of a building which was provided by a non-governmental organisation.

This looks like a really interesting book. I hope it will go on sale in this country.
