Fareed Zakaria On Pakistan

Serendipitously, I've come upon a review of Benazir Bhutto's book, RECONCILIATION: Islam, Democracy, and the West, on Fareed Zakaria's website. You may know Zakaria from his CNN show, GPS. Zakaria is, inter alia, the editor of Newsweek International.

In the article, reprised from Zakaria's review of Bhutto's book for the New York Times, Zakaria writes, the book was
written while she (Bhutto) was preparing to re-enter political life, it is a book of enormous intelligence, courage and clarity. It contains the best-written and most persuasive modern interpretation of Islam I have read.
Just on the strength of these words, coming as they do from an esteemed source, I think it would be a worthwhile cause to eventually track this book down.
