Bhutto Dynasty
«“In this intimate portrait of both the Bhutto family and Pakistani politics, BennettJones delivers a complex Shakespearean tale of loyalty and feuding, insecurity and arrogance, and jealousy and solidarity spanning three generations.”—Foreign Affairs, Best Books of 2020
“Bennett-Jones masterfully weaves together the disparate strands of the modern, cosmopolitan, and urbane Bhutto with his strong nationalistic streak on the one hand and a socialist yearning on the other.”—Shuja Nawaz, Friday Times
“Fluently written, impeccably researched and never short of extraordinary insights, this is a landmark publication.”—Farzana Shaikh, Literary Review
“Many readers will turn with anticipation to Bennett-Jones’s assessment of the Bhutto dynasty’s future, to which he devotes the whole of his concluding chapter.”—Commonwealth Lawyer
“An excellent study that is far more than a chronicle of the Bhutto family, although that history is fascinating enough. Bennett-Jones’ book provides the reader with a superb case study of civil military relations in the modern state.”—R. Gerald Hughes and Ryan Shaffer, Intelligence and National Security
“A gripping and timely take on a family and a country—past, present and future.”—Mishal Husain, broadcaster for BBC News
“Bennett-Jones has repeatedly shown himself to be one of the most perceptive, impartial and knowledgeable journalists reporting Pakistan. Rigorous, authoritative and readable, full of both insights and investigation, this new work is an important addition to the literature of a very important, and often very misunderstood, state.”—Jason Burke, author of Al-Qaeda
“Blending the Bhutto family’s eventful history with that of the broader political developments, Bennett-Jones’ exploration is riveting and thought-provoking in equal measure.”—Sarah Ansari, author of Boundaries of Belonging
