NEW YORK (AFP) — A book by Pakistan's former opposition leader Benazir
Bhutto, finished just days before her assassination last month, is due to
hit bookshelves in February, less than a week before crucial elections, her
publisher said.
"Reconciliation: Islam, Democracy, and the West" is to come out earlier than
originally intended on February 12, HarperCollins said in a statement
Monday, explaining that Bhutto's family and advisors supported the early
release.
In the book, "Bhutto presents a powerful argument for a reconciliation of
Islam with democratic principles, in the face of opposition from Islamic
extremists and Western skeptics," the publisher said.
The former prime minister writes in the book of her joy in returning to
Pakistan in October and about a previous attempt on her life, when two
suicide bombers attacked her homecoming parade, killing 139 people.
The book would also feature a short afterword by her husband and her
children, the publishers said.
"No one could have known that these would be Benazir Bhutto's final words,
and somehow that makes them carry even more weight," said Tim Duggan, the
executive editor of HarperCollins. "This book is her legacy," he added.
The book is due out six days before Pakistan goes to the polls on February
18 for an election originally scheduled for January 8 but delayed after
Bhutto's December 27 assassination plunged the nation into turmoil.
