Another simplified,flattering mini bio of Benazir Bhutto.It was published when she became prime minister for the first time.
Acknowledges some of the flaws of her father,Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.Also admits that her brother Murtaza Bhutto had tried to assassinate General Zia five times and might have been responsible for his assassination.
Her marriage to Asif Zardari is described as well.Apparently,Zardari had been an admirer of hers since they were both teenagers and she used to come to watch movies at his father's cinema house.Prior to the marriage he had agreed to remain in the background as she pursued her political career.
One person was killed and thirty injured as they celebrated their wedding.Emphasises that Benazir wanted a simple wedding.Made me smile considering the lavish lifestyle of the couple,and all the money they minted.
The rest of the book is the usual praise for Benazir and her struggle against Zia.
