Liaquat Ali Khan : His Life and Work

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 been written 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 andunpublished material including the Jinnah-Liaquat Correspondence, The All-India Muslim League Papers, and The Shamsul Hasan Collection, 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 1947Poor Mans Budget.

This will be essential reading for all those who are interested in the recorded history of Pakistan.
