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.
中文簡介：
《東方的女兒：貝·布托自傳》收錄了其去年4月親筆撰寫的前言：“生于巴基斯坦，我的生命折射了她的動蕩、悲情和勝利。”貝·布托以娟秀而剛毅的文風回憶了自己命運多桀的一生，披露了許多鮮為人知的政治內幕，包括父親之死、監(jiān)禁生涯、流亡海外、回國等。這不僅是一位杰出女性的人生獨白，而且是一部充滿愛、苦難、斗爭和英雄主義的傳奇。本書一直描述到2007年10月18日她結束8年流亡回到巴基斯坦，而這本自傳結束兩個多月之后，貝·布托便遇刺身亡。
