Bhutto: 1953-2007 (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book is a very simple and basic book about Benazir Bhutto, the assassinated former (and, for a while, hoped-for-future) Prime Minister. She was the first female Prime Minister of any Muslim nation, and the Pakistani equivalent in many ways of Indira Gandhi, including, unfortunately, the manner of her death.
This book does not give much insight into the various controversies and scandals of Bhutto's life -- being written more as a school-book variety biography, it gives basic facts about Pakistan, about Bhutto's family and her own life, and gives a few bits and pieces of her own quo0tes and writing. Unfortunately, there aren't many books available on Bhutto (and somewhat ironically, there is an upcoming autobiography due to be released in April 2008).
One would do just as well at the moment to scan the various internet sources for information about Bhutto, but for younger people who should remember this person, who in many ways was inspiring and hope-ful, it could be worthwhile.
