Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Benazir Bhutto's book is a powerful and insightful analysis of the formidable challenges that confronted an extraordinary woman who paid the ultimate price for daring to attempt to bring democracy to Pakistan. President Kennedy would have called her a Profile in Courage."--Ted Kennedy

"This is one of the most gripping and important books of our era. It's a brilliant manifesto for challenging radical Islam. Benazir Bhutto was an intense but charming woman driven by a crucial mission. Her death makes this beautiful book all the more poignant, and also more necessary."--Walter Isaacson

"Pakistan has become the critical battlefield in the so-called war on terror. Reconciliation is the story of a courageous woman and her struggle for democracy and moderation in Islam. Benazir Bhutto, not the extremists who killed her, represented the vast majority of Pakistani Muslims."--Peter Galbraith

"This is a courageous and powerful answer to hatred and intolerance, written by an extraordinary woman. Reading Benazir Bhutto's Reconciliation shows just how much we lost with her death. You'll finish it and mourn for what might have been."--Arianna Huffington

"Benazir Bhutto will go down in history as a courageous leader who risked--and lost--her life in the service not only of her nation, but of values shared by us all. Anyone interested in Pakistan, democracy, or Islam should read this fascinating and important book."--Joe Biden

"This book is an eloquent reflection of traits which defined the life of Benazir Bhutto--an unshakable optimism about the future, a firm belief in the power of dialogue, and a commitment to democracy.The strength of her message of hope underscores how much was lost in her tragic death."--Nancy Pelosi

"It is impossible to understand today's world without knowing Pakistan; and impossible to understand Pakistan without reading this book. A courageous woman--tragically killed--speaks to us of reconciliation. We owe it to her--and to ourselves--to listen, comprehend, and act."--Madeleine Albright

Reseña del editor:

A final work by the assassinated former prime minister of Pakistan offers a provocative assessment of the growing tensions between Islam and the West, in an account that shares historical information that traces the roots of international terrorism to American support for former dictator Zia ul Haq and reveals how democracy and Islam can be compatible. Reprint. 35,000 first printing.
