KARACHI: A book titled Gen Agha Mohammad Yahya Khan: The Rise and Fall of a Soldier – 1947-1971 by retired Brig A.R. Siddiqui and organised by Tareekh Foundation Trust was launched online on Thursday evening.
Speaking on the occasion, Brig Siddiqui said the central idea of the book is about jihad and the Pakistan army. He then gave a detailed account of the armed forces in the post-independence scenario from the time when the country came into being to the first constitution presented in 1956 to the 1965 and 1971 wars and Gen Yahya Khan’s role in the latter war. In his concluding remarks he pointed out that the 1971 war was avoidable.
