"Born to rank and responsibility, Benazir Bhutto nonetheless never dreamed of becoming the first woman prime minister of a Muslim state. Nor did she envision seven years of imprisonment and two years of exile after her father, the progressive Democratic leader of Pakistan, was deposed in a military coup and later condemned to death. In Daughter of Destiny she reviews the explosive events of her life — the happiness of student days at Harvard and Oxford eclipsed by the prolonged nightmare of Pakistan under martial law; the persecution of her remarkable family; the threats, torture, and murders; her own solitary confinement and ultimate exile. Through all these sufferings, with rare passion and strength, Benazir preserved her father's principles until in 1988 this brilliant beautiful, charismatic woman finally won the right to form a new government and return democracy to her long-divided nation." -- from the back cover.
