The Leopard and the Fox A Pakistani Tragedy by Tariq Ali
The BBC commissioned Tariq Ali to write a three-part TV series on the circumstances leading to the overthrow, trial and execution of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, the first elected Prime Minister of Pakistan. As rehearsals were about to begin, the BBC hierarchy decided to cancel the project. This work presents both the script and the story of censorship.
"Ali broadens our horizons, geographically, historically, intellectually and politicallyHis mode of history telling is lyrical and engaging, humane and passionate." The Nation "Just reading the script, you feel his [Ali's] command of the political subject matter." Morning Star "A gripping piece of drama." Three Monkeys Online
Tariq Ali is a writer, critic, political campaigner, and film-maker. He has written scripts for both stage and screen and many polemics on world history and politics, most recently The Clash of Fundamentalisms, Bush in Babylon, and Rough Music: Blair/Bombs/Baghdad/London/Terror.
