Historians are romantics with ingenuity to restructure the past. Their perceptions are based on socio-politico-economic analysis alone, often with a proclivity to miss out on the human drama of the real people. `Three Presidents`.. is a first-hand story-- history narrated from a personal perspective, presented as it happended and not reconstructed by historians. The book covers the period between 1965 and 1972, an era most turbulent not only the history of Pakistan but that of the entire subcontinent. It provides clear glimpses into the minds of the Pakistani leadership as its military fought two wars with India, creating Bangladesh in the process, even as millions of people across the subcontinent suffered the consequences. There were conspiracies, treachery and acts of treason for seemingly petty personal gains. There were nations, which betrayed thier allies when they were needed the most. Ambassador Arshad Sami Khan, sj by virtue of his extensive inside knowledge gives a rare insight into Pakistan`s politico-military landscape.
