Pakistan : Fifty Years of Independence (3 Volumes-Set)

"The year 1947 will go down in the political history of the Indian sub-continent as a momentous one. The period 1935-47 saw the transition of power in a phased manner from the British hands and the creation of the new State of Pakistan. Pakistan became a reality in 1947 under the banner of muslim league and the leadership of quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

Pakistan has entered the golden jubilee 50th year of Independence, with a new government and a new vision for the 21st century. This systematic work in three volumes studies the fifty years of Pakistan's independence--political, constitutional, economic and social developments--giving also the background to Pakistan's independence with a complete chronology of events, right from 1947 to 1997."
