review 1: Unarguably the most amazing autobiographies I've ever read. It's a pity that this book never translated in English. It tells the life story of a senior bureaucrat who spent his early professional years in Indian civil services, remained in the top echelon of Pakistan's bureaucracy from 1947 until Yahya Khan's presidency and witnessed the political developments of that era first-hand. If I'm not exaggerating, I've read this book more than 10-12 times and still love to read it.
review 2: This book is one of its kind. Its an autobiography of an ordinary Muslim Kashmiri boy, who is intelligent enough to get into the prestigious ICS before Partition. We are treated for a rich journey which ultimately lands him into the president's office as one of his trusted office... morers, blessed by the Sufi mystics of the time. I loved the narrative style and the free flowing of information in the book. It represents a time when patriotism in Pakistan was still pretty raw and people believed. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to read history of Pakistan. less
