A Historical Atlas of Pakistan

Pakistan was once a part of the Indus Valley civilization and is one of the oldest cultivated lands in the world. Young readers will enjoy learning about Pakistan's unique history from some of its famous archeological sites, its rich cultural and religious history, and its modern-day struggle for independence from India in the 1940s. From medieval conquerors to twentieth-century leaders, students gain insight into the region as it changed through the use of both historical and modern maps. This book sheds light on a country that shares disputed borders with both India and China and helps students make sense of today's headlines.
