Liaquat Ali Khan (1895-1951) was among the founding fathers of Pakistan. His contribution to the creation and consolidation of Pakistan has been immense. Yet the fact that no biography of this first Prime Minister of Pakistan and the last Honorary Secretary of the Muslim League has ever beenwritten in English shows how far his role has been neglected. This book has the distinction of being the first biography of this historic figure. Based on primary and unpublished material including the Jinnah-Liaquat Correspondence, The All-India Muslim League Papers, and The Shamsul HasanCollection, this book contains many interesting disclosures, notably about the Desai-Liaquat talks, Liaquats hostility to the British War efforts, and the economic imperatives of the 1947 Poor Mans Budget. This will be essential reading for all those who are interested in the recorded history ofPakistan. | Liaquat Ali Khan by Muhammad Reza Kazimi, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
