Summary
A major new investigation into the Bhutto family, examining their influence in Pakistan from the colonial era to the present day.
The Bhutto family has long been one of the most ambitious and powerful in Pakistan. But politics has cost the Bhuttos dearly. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, widely regarded as the most talented politician in the country's history, was removed from power in 1977 and executed two years later, at the age of 51. Of his four children, three met unnatural deaths: Shahnawaz was poisoned in 1985 at the age of 27; Murtaza was shot by the police outside his home in 1996, aged 42; and Benazir Bhutto, who led the Pakistan Peoples Party and became prime minister twice, was killed by a suicide bomber in Rawalpindi in 2007, aged 54.
Drawing on original research and unpublished documents gathered over 20 years, Owen Bennett-Jones explores the turbulent existence of this extraordinary family, including their volatile relationship with British colonialists, the Pakistani armed forces, and the United States.
