I am starting to get very annoyed at some uncompromisable weaknesses in the Ikram rabbani book "pakistan affairs". It has a lot of spelling mistakes, typo mistakes. To give an example. At many places it writes millions as billions whike mentioning u.s aid to pak.
It is very vague and lacks coherence and sequence. He starts talking of year 1963 and goes on to explain the events happened till 1980 and all of sudden next para starts from 1950 and the worst part is, u dont even realise that he is talking of 1950 until u start to get really confused at th relation of above paras with the para u reading.
It leaves many issues unexplained. For example, many a times u wud read him mentioning that "because of such and such a thing such, many problems arose." but he wont mention What problems. To give another example, he would mention an event, without explaining the relation of that event with the topic or point he making. This confuses the reader a lot.
The thing which irritates me the most is the lack of conherence and unity, especially when he is discussing some issue. One had to do a lot of hardwork to make connections between what he saying and said in previous paras and to find a proper sequence.

This book is wasting a lot of my time in doing the above things i mentioned. Please can someone recommend me a great book (which is not vague, consists of coherence and unity in writing) on POST PAK ERA?

trek to pakistan, struggle for pakistan

@Nile....i also faced the same problem you are facing now while preparing for CSS-2012. i would suggest you to do the movements like "shahwaliullah, sheikh ahmed sarhindi etc" form this book for they are well explained in it. for the pre-independence Muslim struggle trek for Pakistan is the best book and for the post-independence events go for the imtiaz shaid's book. or browse internet...both are helpful.

What about hamid ali book? Someone recommended it to me

very well known teacher of pakistan affairs sir usmani also suggested us that do not go through ikram rabbani's book. so it can be thoroughly analysed ikram's book is not upto the mark.
best of luck
