Oxford contemporary, Benazir Bhutto. 'Fascinating and moving' Lord

'Brings unique insights into the life and times of Benazir Bhutto'
Lyse Doucet In the summer of 1978, Victoria Schofield travelled to
Pakistan to join her friend Benazir Bhutto, whose father, the
former prime minister, was facing a charge of conspiracy to murder.
In the fevered context of Bhutto's appeal against the death
sentence, their university friendship grew into a lifelong bond,
ending only with Benazir's assassination in 2007. Schofield's
memoir sheds light on the recent history of this turbulent region,
and affectionately charts Benazir's transformation from Oxford
undergraduate to one of the most charismatic and controversial
figures in South Asian politics – a woman whose life and career
were defined by tragedy.
