“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

“One of the most gripping and important books
of our era.” — Walter Isaacson

Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan
in October 2007, after eight years of exile, hopeful that she could be a
catalyst for change. Upon a tumultuous reception, she survived a suicide-bomb
attack that killed nearly two hundred of her compatriots. But she continued to
forge ahead, with more courage and conviction than ever, since she knew that
time was running out—for the future of her nation and for her life.

In Reconciliation, Bhutto
recounts in gripping detail her final months in Pakistan and offers a bold new
agenda for how to stem the tide of Islamic radicalism and to rediscover the
values of tolerance and justice that lie at the heart of her religion. She
speaks out not just to the West but also to the Muslims across the globe.
Bhutto presents an image of modern Islam that defies the negative caricatures
often seen in the West. After reading this book, it will become even clearer
what the world has lost by her assassination
