Author of A Solitary War and the award-winning The Dictator’s Shadow, Heraldo Munoz is the United Nations Assistant Secretary General in charge of Latin America and the Caribbean for the United Nations Development Program and the former Chilean ambassador to the United Nations. He lives in New York City.
"This is a chilling account of deceit, corruption and murder at the
highest levels of power in Pakistan, an American ally. A carefully
researched and compelling tale of tragedy masked as a
government."
*Tom Brokaw*
"Muñoz has written a brilliant, incisive and page turning book—the
last word on Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. The murder of Benazir
Bhutto shook a nation and the world but until now there has never
been an authoritative explanation as to how and why she died. Muñoz
comes closest to identifying those guilty of her untimely and
tragic death, guiding us through the enigma and chaos that is
Pakistan and the double dealing that sustains the tortured
relationship between that country and the United States."
*Ahmed Rashid, author of Pakistan on the Brink: The Future of
America, Pakistan, and Afghanistan*
"Like some of history’s other high-profile assassinations,
including that of John F. Kennedy, the killing of Benazir Bhutto
remains cloaked in rumor, speculation, and suspicion. Heraldo Muñoz
and his colleagues found skeletons in many closets, smoking guns in
many hands…The story of their search makes for a gripping read, but
far more valuable are the insights Muñoz elicits about the nature
of Pakistani society and its political culture."
*Zalmay Khalilzad, former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan*
"One opens this book to learn more about what lay behind the tragic
death of Benazir Bhutto and is immediately drawn into its
context—the turbulence of Pakistan’s politics and international
relations going back to the foundation of the state. The book is
essential reading for all who want to understand more about the
state of Pakistan and the fate of one of its most talented
daughters."
*Helen Clark, administrator of UNDP and former prime minister of
New Zealand*
