Jinnah of pakistan

Jinnah was for Pakistan what Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru combined were for India. Portraying Jinnah's story in all of its human complexity, Wolpert begins in the late 19th century with Jinnah's early life and follows him to London where he studied law. Returning to India in 1896, Jinnah rapidly ascended the dual ladders of Indian law and politics, climbing to the top rung of each and his struggle for the creation of a seperate state Pakistan. Wolpert vividly recounts how the tragic clash of personalities and party platforms that initially pitted Jinnah against Gandhi escalated from a personal rivalry into a conflict of national and international proportions.
