Product Description

On 16 October 1951, Pakistan's first Prime Minister, Liaquat Ali Khan, was assassinated at a public gathering in Rawalpindi. The gunman, Said Akbar - the author's father -was branded the lone assassin. But was he? This book unravels the deeper story behind the assassination, tracing its roots to the Kashmir War of 1947-48, the Rawalpindi Conspiracy, and the power struggles within Pakistan's military and political circles. From the CID officer Askar Ali Shah's pivotal role in exposing the plot to the flawed findings of Scotland Yard's investigation, the book examines the overlooked evidence and the long-buried files that still may hold the truth. With a meticulous and unbiased approach, the book pieces together the facts, challenges the official narrative, and seeks to answer questions that have haunted Pakistan for decades.... This is the author's attempt to bring the truth to light - for Pakistan, for history, and for his family.
