Seller's Description:
Good, good. 22 cm, 315, maps, glossary, notes, select bibliography, index, stamp on front endpaper. With special reference to Benazir Bhutto, former prime minister of Pakistan. The author lived in Pakistan through the country's most momentous eighteen months, a period that saw the death of a President in a suspicious air crash and the installation of the first female Prime Minister in an Islamic state. Ms. Lamb also spent considerable time with Afghan Mujaheddin. This is the author's first book and one that is extremely scarce.
