In 1996, Mir Murtaza Bhutto was murdered by Pakistani police outside the family home in Karachi. His daughter, Fatima, was at home when it happened, just 14 years old. In 2007, Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, Fatima's aunt, and the woman she had publicly accused of ordering her father's murder, was assassinated in Rawalpindi. This was the latest in a long line of tragedies for one of the world's best-known political dynasties. Fatima Bhutto offers a heartbreaking and revelatory first-hand account of the family that shaped Pakistan and whose history mirrors that of Pakistan itself. The quest to find the truth behind her father's murder has led Fatima Bhutto to the heart of her country's volatile political establishment.
