No individual in the history of Pakistanindeed, few people in modern historyhave achieved greater popular power or suffered so ignominious a death as Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Bhuttos political rise and fall were so meteoric that his name became a legend in the land he once ruled. Indeed, a full decade after his execution his continuing popularity ensured the election of his daughter, Benazir, to the premier position he once held. As she campaigned in Sind and Punjab, the crowds cried Jiye Bhutto!Bhutto Lives!and the Bhutto they meant was Zulfi.Zulfi Bhutto of Pakistan tells the story of this remarkable life in a vivid, insightful narrative. Written by Stanley Wolpert, a leading authority on South Asia and the author of the acclaimed biography Jinnah of Pakistan, the volume traces the life of this remarkable figure from the colorful days of his feudal ancestors to his imprisonment and hanging at the hands of a military dictatorship.Bhutto, Wolpert writes, was a charismatic and contradictory man, a microcosmic reflection of Pakistan itselfa nation born out of division with India which later fell victim to its own internal split with the creation of Bangladesh. Wolpert follows him from his privileged youth in Britishruled India, to his years as a student at USC and UC Berkeley (where he sported a thin moustache, shiny twotone shoes, and proved a keen, if rakish, fraternity brother), to Oxford and back to Pakistan. Bhutto climbed to the heights of power with amazing swiftness, winning a seat in the central Cabinet of Pakistan at the unprecedented age of thirty. Wolpert weaves Pakistans turbulent politics and repeated wars with India together with Bhuttos ambitious maneuvering, tracing his rise to Foreign Minister, the founding of his own political movement, and finally leadership of the nation. The story of Bhuttos sometimes brilliant, sometimes quixotic career is a fascinating one, and Wolpert tells it well, through Bhuttos triumphant years in the mid1970s, the military coup in 1977, and his treacherous imprisonment and execution in 1979.Like the nation he embodied, Bhutto led a sprawling, ambitious, and tragic existence. Wolperts intensively researched, engagingly written account captures the scheming, the grandeur, and the contradictions of one of modern historys most fascinating figures.
