2 good books on PK Army and its wars.

1. Crossed Swords - by Shuja Nawaz.
2. Pakistan Army - 5th ed by Brian Cloughly (an australian)

Thanks for that, fatman17. Brian Cloughly rings a bell. I've seen his name somewhere before.

Of course, I have. Brian Cloughley was the South Asia defence analyst for Reuters.

Greetings from Eastern Australia, Pakistan Defence Forum

I didn't make my formal introduction to the Forum when I joined, so I am correcting that omission here.

I came on PDF while privately researching the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War and the state of both Pakistani and Indian armed forces at that time and that is the reason for my joining the Pakistan Defence forum.

I am an Australian, in Sydney, NSW, Eastern Australia, and have a great interest in military history and in the history of the Subcontinent. The Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 I can remember from my childhood and have always meant to know more about the war's origins and course, and to understand it thoroughly. You could say it was on my bucket list. So I am here.

But of course, with the recent terrible tragedy in Peshawar, that has a dominated events over the last 2 days, I've also been closely following that and making my remarks about this shocking event , including expressions of sympathy for the bereaved and condemnation of the murderers.

I'll repeat our collective expression of sympathy to the people of Pakistan here once more:

Our deepest sympathy to the people of Pakistan at this terrible tragedy, and at this very difficult time, from all of us here in Australia.

Welcome Redhawk, from the land down under.

Sorry I couldn't help myself, it's a song from my childhood.

Thanks and that's ok, waz. I remember this song by Men at Work,too, but I was much older than childhood.
