About the Book

At the Forward Edge of Battle is the first ever illustrated history of the Pakistan Armoured Corps. The Pakistan Armoured Corps is based on a unique blend of values and traditions inherited from its predecessors, with those of the post-Independence national army. Origins of this force can be traced back to the times the cavalry units of the British India Army were mechanized, in late 1930s. They were worked up and then deployed extensively during the World War II, and further moulded during the post-independence period and two wars with India, 1948-1971. By 1990s, the Pakistan Armoured Corps evolved into a modern fighting force in thought, organization, and equipment. Based on decades of author's first hand experience, extensive research with help of authentic sources and official documentation, this book is providing a detailed and richly illustrated description of the build-up and expansion of the Pakistan Armoured Corps, its culture, organisation, doctrine, equipment, bases, a myriad of events and personalities, and combat operations that made it over the last 95 years. At the Forward Edge of Battle, Volume 1 is illustrated by over 100 rare and authentic photographs, 15 colour profiles, and a similar number of maps. AUTHOR: After a career of 50 years in the Pakistan Army, Maj Gen Syed Ali Hamid developed a passion for the military history of the Pakistan-India Subcontinent. He had served in an armoured regiment in the 1971 Pakistan-India War and wrote its combat history, Forged in the Furnace of Battle (Sang-e-Meel, 2012). 100 b/w photos/ills, 20 colour profiles, 12 colour ills, 2 maps, 2 tables

About the Author :
Major-General Syed Ali Hamid was born into a family with 150 years of tradition of soldiering. Syed Ali Hamid retired from the Pakistan Army after more than 50 years of service, more than half of this with the Pakistan Armoured Corps. He served with an armoured regiment during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, commanded a mechanized division, lectured for six years at the faculty of the Army Staff College and Pakistan’s National Defence University, and developed a passion for military history. While extensively researching the history of the British Indian Army, and the military history of the Indian Subcontinent, he published hundreds of articles in military magazines and journals, and several related books. At the Forward Edge of Battle is his first writing project with Helion.

Review :
"Good organizational coverage of the transition period as Pakistan became independent from India and military assets were divided between the two."-- "Historical Miniatures Gaming Society"
