This is an absorbing read but I had to leave it back in London because these days intellectual curiosity does not provide sufficient cover against the suspicion of universally paranoid airport security.

I'm giving up on this for now. I was hoping to learn something new about Pakistan. Instead I get a hagiography. The 1971 war is mentioned without any reference to ZA Bhutto's central role in precipitating it. The history in this book is colored; and the biography is overly sentimental. It's a shame because I generally share FB's politics.
