This is the book on the post-1947 development of the Punjab border that I've been wait ing for. It argues that until 1987, the Punjab border was far more permeable than general ly assumed. Filled with detail, it provides a wonderful sense of the daily lived experiences of border-dwellers, including farmers, smugglers, border guards, local politicians, mer chant kings, and soldiers. Based on an impressive and innovative source base gathered over years of archival research and fieldwork, it traces connections from individual border residents to the heights of Pakistan's political and military establishment. In a sur prising denouement, it reveals links between the border economy, military challenges to civilian government, and even Pakistan's nuclear programme."
