Pakistan by Imran Khan
Recounting Pakistan's history through the prism of the author's own memories, this title starts from its foundation, ripped out of the dying British Raj. It guides us through and comments on subsequent historical developments which shook the Muslim world - from the wars with India in 1965 and 1971, to the controversial war in Afghanistan.
Imran Khan was born in 1952 and grew up playing cricket in Lahore, Pakistan. He played his first international match for his country in 1971. In 1972, he began his studies at Oxford University, where he was a contemporary of Benazir Bhutto. He went on to play cricket for Pakistan until 1992, and was captain of the team from 1982. In 1994 he established a hospital in Pakistan offering free cancer treatment to the poor and is in the process of setting up a second. He also founded Namal College (2007), the only private sector university outside the cities. In April 1996 Imran Khan established his own political party, the Tehrik-e-Insaf, which aims to bring good governance and social justice to the people of Pakistan, and make Pakistan a just and humane society.
