The Last Ten Days: The Words Of A Pakistani Soldier

Diary of a Soldier PakNationalists Forum is honored to release on 11 June 2011 this book, titled, in its English translation, ‘The Last Ten Days: The Words Of A Pakistani Soldier’.  It is an inspiring story of a thoughtful and yet determined soldier, possibly one of the youngest of Pakistan Army to die fighting terror resulting from the occupation of Afghanistan.

It’s a diary of the last ten days of a soldier who is convinced he will die in the mission that brought him to the border of Afghanistan, where he wrote this diary.  So convinced he was of his death, and so eager he was to bump a few dozen anti-Pakistan terrorists coming from the Afghan side, that he even predicted his own death on the last page of the diary, a few hours before terrorists took him down.  But he did not go easy. He gave them a hard time. He took 22 bullets, all to his chest. He falls but his small unit succeeds in recapturing an important mountain pass that has been under the control of terrorists for eight years, right on the Afghan border in Mohmand Agency of the Pakistani tribal region.
