If you are new to Imran Khan’s writings, a good starting point would be “Pakistan: A Personal History” or “Imran Khan: A Personal Memoir.

The views reflected in this blog are my personal views and are in no way connected to my profession or employer. Imran Khan’s books are a testament to his multifaceted personality and his commitment to transforming Pakistan. In 1994 he established a hospital in Pakistan offering free cancer treatment to the poor and is in the process of setting up a second.

Khan said he wrote the book to tell the world about the two things he knows and loves, Pakistan and Islam.

He did this to pacify and please India and to present his credentials of faithfulness to the United States in accordance with his January 12 speech promises.Khan mentions how Zia declared the Ahmediyas to be non-Muslims, but doesn’t comment either in support or against that declaration. Two of Khan’s ‘ overzealous cousins almost ambushed, shot and killed two innocent people, mistaking them for Indian paratroopers. I would suggest to re produce this audio book with either Imran reading himself, or a Pakistani narrating this book some one like Zia Mohyeddin.

A very Bold, sensational and a shocking read of probably one of the most famous cricketer of all time.

In the book, Khan details Pakistan's history; his political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf; and his own life and cricket career. Mind you, there isn’t too much about Khan’s rise to fame and glory in cricket, other than occasional references to various incidents, both good and bad ones.Recounting his country’s history through the prism of his own memories, Imran Khan starts from its foundation, ripped out of the dying British Raj. hated the narration as firstly he doesnot sound like an authentic subcontinent narrator secondly his prononounciation.
