One of the best books I have read about Ayub era. Comprehensive and contains excellent details of all major events and how events lead to his downfall and it was so well written that in the end it makes one feel saddened to see how once so powerful Ayub Khan left the president house without any notice.
This books changed my perspective about Ayub personality and I found him sincere to country. Also it brought in open all the dirty games played by ZAB and claiming all the goods for himself while leaving Ayub behind to pick up the mess after 65 war.
Must read for those who want to have detailed insight into event occurred during Ayub era.
