People keep asking me what book they should read to know more about the History of Pakistan, there is no one answer to this, no single book will give you everything.
I've tried to compile a list, a list that is in no way exhaustive but will give you a good sound footing of our history.
1. Murder of History by K.K. Aziz
This is the only place anyone should start because before one can learn new things they have to unlearn all the lies they've been fed. This book will show you why Pakistan Studies is nothing more than fiction.
2. Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military by Hussain Haqqani
I tend to agree with Hussain Haqqani's thesis that at the center of Pakistan is thr Mullah-Military nexus that controls everything. This book will give you a good historical understanding of how that came to be.
A People's History from Bangladesh, Pakistan and India by Anam Zakaria
Including this because historically in this region we've passed down our history orally whereas the Western Academia privileges written history.
This book will give you varied perspectives on , and show you the value of oral histories, and sub-altern voices.

Pakistan
Pakistan is an often misunderstood country. We have a range of interviews recommending books that explore the roots of Pakistan’s political instability, its social and political challenges, and the complex role of Islam within the country. They also look at Pakistan’s international position and the relationship with its neighbours, Afghanistan and India.
Anatol Lieven, an academic and a journalist, chooses his best books on understanding Pakistan, looking at the circumstances of the country’s creation and the roots of its political instability. Historian Iftikhar Malik takes on a similar theme, exploring Pakistan, Partition and Identity. Similarly, journalist and author Mani Shankar Aiyar, who served as an Indian diplomat in Pakistan, looks at Pakistan’s history and identity.
Fatima Bhutto, the niece of the former prime minister of the country (Benazir Bhutto), chooses her best books on the politics of Pakistan, while Hassan Abbas, an academic and a former government official in Pakistan, looks at reform in the country. Author Daniyal Mueenuddin and former CIA officer Bruce Riedel both choose their best books on the country itself.
