Recently, I happened to read a very fine biography of Former Premier of Pakistan Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto by Stanley Wolpert named
, ‘Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan: His life and times’. Here, it is worthy of mention that Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was the founder of Pakistan People Party and is considered no less than a legend in the political history Pakistan. He was the one who happened to influence not only the history of Pakistan but world as well in many different ways. Be it the Atomic program of Pakistan or Pan-Islamic dream, one can find Zulfi Bhutto behind it. “No individual in the history of Pakistan–indeed, few people in modern history–have achieved greater popular power or suffered so ignominious a death as Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Bhutto’s political rise and fall were so meteoric that his name became a legend in the land he once ruled.” writes Stanley Wolpert.
Stanley Wolpert is a American Historian who specializes in history of India and Pakistan. He has a Ph. D. from in history from Universiy of Pennsylvania and teaches at University of California, Los Anegels.
In this very well written book, the author has given the major highlights of Pakistan’s political history in context of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. While reading this, one can carry many different impression and in my case, I came to conclude one important generalization in the life of Bhutto that Zulfiqar Bhutto was impulsive in his nature and stubborn fellow with a certain amount of arrogance that offered him extremes of self confidence. This was his weakness and his this weakness was his strength that happened to be his secret of rise as well as fall.
In last, I would say that this book is worth worth an addition to the library of those who are interested in History of Pakistan. I loved the way it is written and would like to recommend it since it can prove a very good source of understanding of Pakistan.
