Great Regulars: But in the course of this book I discovered

that it was my grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto who pushed his sons, who in one of his last letter said to his elder son and my father, "If you do not avenge my death then you are not my sons."

As somebody who has also lost a parent, I cannot imagine the weight that is and also how unforgiving that was for a parent to do to his sons. Certainly, I spoke to people who were there at that time. I myself born in Kabul during their period and exile there and I was able, I hope, to dispel a lot of myths that came up around that movement.
