  • "ASIAN / MIDDLE EASTERN HISTORY. Born only five years after Pakistan was created in 1947, Imran Khan has lived his country's history. Recounting his country's history through the prism of his own memories, Imran Khan starts from its foundation, ripped out of the dying British Raj.He guides us through and comments on subsequent historical developments which shook the Muslim world - the wars with India in 1965 and 1971, the Iranian Revolution of 1979, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the 9/11 terrorist attacks - to the current controversial and intractable war in Afghanistan.Throughout we see these events viewed not only through the eyes of Westerners, but through those of ordinary Pakistanis. It is at once absorbing and insightful, casting fresh light upon a country whose culture he believes is largely misunderstood by the West."

  • "Born only five years after Pakistan was created in 1947, Imran Khan has lived his country's history. Khan believes his homeland is much misunderstood by the West, examining how Pakistan has reached its troubled present. It is the only Islamic country with a nuclear bomb, yet is unable to protect its own people from regular terrorist attacks. Both a personal account and a history of a nation."
