Musharraf buys all copies of sensitive 65 war book
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Army general headquarters has purchased all 22,000 copies of a sensitive book by a former Inter Services Intelligence(ISI) chief on the myth of the victory claimed by the Pakistan Army in the 1965 war against India.The army felt The Myth of 1965 Victory by Lieutenant General Mahmood Ahmed would malign the armed forces image. According to GHQ sources, army chief General Pervez Musharraf found the book, published by Oxford University Press, too sensitive. The sources said Mahmood had submitted the manuscript to the GHQ as per rules. However, after going through the manuscript, the GHQ referred it to Musharraf, who noted on the file that Mahmood should review sensitive parts of the book and the title, especially the use of the word myth in relation to the 1965 war.
