The book portrays the Pakistani military as an institution that is eating up whatever little resources Pakistan has.


The Pakistani military's successful financial management, creating alternate financial sources to spend on a vast military machine and build a conventional and nuclear near-match with a neighboring adversary five times larger - an impressive record for any nation by any standard - was distorted in the book and reduced to a mere attempt by the military to control the nation's economy in the same way it was controlling its politics.
I'd be most interested in what those alternate financial sources are
