THE HISTORY OF PAKISTAN unfolds into a dramatic canvas of events that features some of the world's greatest empires. Iranian, Greek, Turkish, Moghul, and British imperialists have fought over the land, established their cultures, and then faded away as new forces made their presence felt. Yet the country where these civilizations flourished and then floundered did not come into existence as a separate nation until 1947. Until then, the country known today as Pakistan was part of India. The years since 1947 have been equally eventful and turbulent, and, if anything, even more dramatic.
