DESCRIPTION
From the Publisher:
Beautiful and charismatic, Benazir Bhutto is not only the first woman to lead a post-colonial Muslim state, she achieved a status approaching that of a royal princess - both in her native Pakistan and around the world. But after two terms in office she was stripped of her power in another example of the bitter political in-fighting that has riven her country.
Bhutto’s life has been full of drama. The daughter of one of Pakistan’s most popular leaders - Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who was hanged by General Zia in 1979 - she grew up in one of the country’s richest families. Following an international education at Harvard and Oxford she became politicised after her father’s execution and was first elected Prime Minister in 1988 - both the youngest person and the first woman to lead the government of a Muslim state.
Her riveting autobiography, first published twenty years ago and now updated to cover her own activities since then and how her country has changed since being thrust into the international limelight after 9/11, is an inspiring tale of strength, dedication and courage in the face of adversity.
'A deeply moving saga of love, drama and heroism’ - Evening Standard
‘A very tough lady and a fighter. . . This book is her personal tale, frankly and charmingly told’ - Independent
‘An unusually moving and challenging account of a brave woman, a martyred family and a heroic country struggling to maintain the spirit of freedom in the face of savage repression’ - Sunday Times
