Loved It - Rated What an amazing woman who led an amazing life. I couldn't put this book down and it gave me an absolute understanding of the political environment in Pakistan as well as an understanding of reasons for international terrorism and how we have reached this age of terror. Truly essential reading for our time - Benazir's messages must live on.... YOU NEED TO READ THIS - Rated I wanted to learn more about Benizir Bhutto after her assasination and "Daughter of the East" just fell into my lap. Another reviewer has noted that the autobiography only focusses on a little part of Bhutto's life and political carreer - and I agree. However, I would like to promote "Daughter of the East" as mandatory reading for everyone. Chronological "Daughter of the East" covers Zia's period in Pakistan from the late 1970s to 1988, but that statement does not begin to encompass the dimensions of "Daughter of the East". "Daughter of the East" is a personal account of Benizir Bhutto and her youth, 20s, and 30s. It is about being the eldest daughter of the prime minister, it is about being a woman and politically active in a predominately Islamic country, it is about political oppression, about democracy, about faith, freedom, and hope for the future. It is about torture and imprisonment, about human rights for every individual, and about ethics and the means to an end. You really need to read this book. Louise. A fascinating and inspiring woman, but this book is only about a small part of her life - Rated You can't help reading this book and admiring Ms Bhutto, in many ways. Her charm and lovely nature shines through. Her life was incredibly difficult, and yet her positivity and warmth is present at all times. While reading the book, you can't help but feel the loss that her death was to this world. Unfortunately the book is focused on one part of her life, which is when she was imprisoned, rather than her life as a whole. It also focuses on the politics rather than the woman. I would be interested to hear more about her personal and family life, and her thoughts and feelings about the world in general. Instead it focuses on the suffering she endured in Pakistan in the 70s and 80s. While this is interesting, inspiring and educational (particularly if you're interested in Pakistan's situation as it is now), I wouldn't call it a comprehensive autobiography of Ms Bhutto.
