Book Description:
A timely new edition of the extraordinary life story of Pakistan's first woman Prime Minister -- now updated to assess recent developments in her country as it assumes a central role in world affairs.
Beautiful and charismatic, the daughter of one of Pakistan's most popular leaders -- Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, hanged by General Zia in 1979 -- Benazir Bhutto is not only the first woman to lead a post-colonial Muslim state, she achieved a status approaching that of a royal princess, only to be stripped of her power in another example of the bitter political in-fighting that has riven her country. From her upbringing in one of Pakistan's richest families, the shock of the contrast of her Harvard and Oxford education, and subsequent politicisation and arrest after her father's death, Bhutto's life has been full of drama. Her riveting autobiography, first published in 1988 and now updated to cover her own activities since then and how her country has changed since being thrust into the international limelight after 9/11, is an inspiring tale of strength, dedication and courage in the face of adversity.
中文简介：
《东方的女儿：贝·布托自传》收录了其去年4月亲笔撰写的前言：“生于巴基斯坦，我的生命折射了她的动荡、悲情和胜利。”贝·布托以娟秀而刚毅的文风回忆了自己命运多桀的一生，披露了许多鲜为人知的政治内幕，包括父亲之死、监禁生涯、流亡海外、回国等。这不仅是一位杰出女性的人生独白，而且是一部充满爱、苦难、斗争和英雄主义的传奇。本书一直描述到2007年10月18日她结束8年流亡回到巴基斯坦，而这本自传结束两个多月之后，贝·布托便遇刺身亡。
