"A must-read for anyone interested in the intrigue of politics in
the most dangerous country on earth" (The Sunday Times) Read the
unique insider's view of a country unfamiliar to a Western
audience, seen through the eyes of the man set to become Pakistan's
new Prime Minister. Born only five years after Pakistan was created
in 1947, Imran Khan has lived his country's history. Undermined by
a ruling elite, and unable to protect its people from the carnage
of regular bombings from terrorists and its own ally, America,
Pakistan has for years suffered from instability. Now Imran Khan
and his own political party, the Tehreek-e-Insaf, offer a real
political alternative for the people of Pakistan at a time when
tension between Pakistan's government and the powerful military has
reached dangerous new levels. How did this flashpoint of volatility
and injustice come about? Pakistan: A Personal History provides a
unique insider's view of a country unfamiliar to a western
audience. Woven into this history we see how Imran Khan's personal
life - his happy childhood in Lahore, his Oxford education, his
extraordinary cricketing career, his marriage to Jemima Goldsmith,
his mother's influence and that of his Islamic faith - inform both
the historical narrativeandhis current philanthropic and political
activities. It is at once absorbing and insightful, casting fresh
light upon a country whose culture he believes is largely
misunderstood by the West.
