Musharraf is not the only General Pakistan Army has produced and he is most certainly not the only General who has written a book and definitely not the only General whose book I had the good fortune of reading.
As for the degrees officers earn.
They are awarded Bsc/BA at the Academy. Many even join after Bsc/BA or even Msc/MA. That is at the initial training at the academy.
After the academy they serve about 30 yrs before reaching a General rank and having gone through numerous courses of professional and academic nature. Without which they simply do not reach higher command ranks. That is how the promotion system is designed.
So to find out more about their degrees earned and courses attended and world class institutions attended, Google;
Command & Staff College
National Defence University (NDC now made NDU)
Air War College
Naval War College
AMC
NUML
and various others and the degrees they offer and the degrees various officers earn from there and also various other similar institutions that Pakistan Army officers attend over the world such as the RCDS UK, and many other similar ones in US/Aus/Can/China and other friendly countries.
As for Musharraf, he went to PMA got a BSc, went to Gunnery staff course, went to SSG, went to Command Staff College, National Defence College and Royal College of Defence Studies (RCDS) UK. You can again Google the worth of these degrees and courses globally
Who cares about these courses which are in their respective fields of Defence, how can you assume that they become good politicians, diplomats or statesmen. Army has not produced even a single statesman or genuine political leader in 58 years, their training and courses are all related to their respective departments where they belong not to rule the country and destroy its institutions
They are trained to say yes sir to their superior and there is no room for criticism, how can you expect anything good from them in civil matters
