Pakistan Occupied Kashmir: The Untold Truth' is a book about the territory of Jammu & Kashmir under Pakistani occupation. The region has been split up into two administrative units: Gilgit-Baltistan and Mirpur-Muzaffarabad, officially termed by Pakistanis as the 'Northern Areas, and 'Azad Kashmir' respectively. The media has constantly focussed on the Kashmir Valley, while the POK has remained neglected. Ignorance about the region borders on apathy. Even the circumstances under which the territory was occupied and the manner in which it was annexed by Pakistan have not been investigated by the scholars in requisite detail. The book traces the circumstances surrounding Pakistan's occupation of the territory, its current legal status, the growing popular discontentment and much more about POK's inside truth.

Parvez Dewan can send you to sleep about Ladakh. If anyone has the Ultimate Dossier on this land, it is he, after years of running about India's northern-most region, administering and adventuring his way around its desert plains, passes and lakes. Along the way, he discovered that Kargil and Leh had large Buddhas carved into the mountainside, noticed that the `world's purest Aryans,' the Drokpas, weren't amused by suggestions that there was mass kissing at their festival and taught himself polo on the endless Kargyak Plains - the highest inhabited place in the world. Parvez started the Ladakh Festival, threw open to tourists seven thitherto `forbidden' areas (but got bounced back from Siachen), developed an admiration for the history, culture and people of the Pak Occupied Gilgit-Baltistan-Hunza region, introduced the Suru Valley and Goshan Murad Bagh to the international media, and waited for weeks to sight the snow leopard. He was luckier with the wild ass, Brahmini ducks and black necked cranes, though.
