Wolpert, Stanley

Jinnah of Pakistan

1997 Paperback Mint paperback in publisher's seal. An important contribution to the study of one of the most significant episodes of modern history, the partition of India. Jinnahs role has been consistently distorted both in scholarly work and in the popular media as most recently in the Gandhi film.... Wolpert has suceeded in showing Jinnah as a rationalist of great intelligence and political ability, who was driven to become the spokesman for the partition of India by tides of Indian Nationalism....Ainslie T. Embree, Chairman, Department of History, Columbia University

This masterly biography of Pakistans Founder and Great Leader is also a thorough and objective study of the coming of political independence and partition to the Indian subcontinent. Holden Furber, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Pennsylvania
