Reviews
William Dalrymple, Financial Times "Moving, witty . . . a uniquely fascinating, wonderfully well-constructed memoir." Sir Bob Geldof "The Bhuttos are an Asian Borgia or Plantagenet dynastic family. This then is an important and timely book offering a rare insight into the violent world of Pakistani politics told by a direct witness. It's also the story of a daughter's love for her murdered father and many other members of her family. Power not only corrupts-it kills." The Independent "A story with dazzling twists and turns told by a true-blue member of the Bhutto fold." Irish Times "Political intrigue, administrative corruption and widespread avarice, refracted through a narrative of family history and sibling hostilities, make Songs of Blood and Sword read like a darker version of Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy." Charles Glass, former ABC News Chief Middle East Correspondent, author of Tribes with Flags and Americans in Paris: Life and Death Under Nazi Occupation. "Fatima Bhutto writes a compelling account that is both political and personal. Her life is proof that in Pakistan, torn apart by American diktat and local avarice, the political is the personal. Her passion and integrity ring out on every page. If you don't understand what is happening to Pakistan and Afghanistan, you soon will." Roderick Matthews, The Guardian "In clear and unpretentious prose [Songs of Blood and Sword] gives a vivid impression of the brutal and corrupt world of Pakistani power politics, which has resulted in the violent deaths of four members of the Bhutto dynasty in the past thirty-one years.", William Dalrymple, Financial Times "Moving, witty . . . a uniquely fascinating, wonderfully well-constructed memoir."
