5.0 out of 5 starsEnthralling....Fascinating..SpellBinding
By Ahmed on 2 Feb. 2012
Format: Hardcover
Went through the book cover to cover in five sittings despite having young boys.When i first started reading it, i thought it will just be about his life and views. It is thousand years of history relevant to Imran's life and views packed in a few pages and talks of the future as well.

At the end of the book i felt enlightened and hopeful of the new Dawn that is beckoning Imran and Pakistan.

I personally feel Pakistan's existensial crisis has Imran as the only answer. Like in cricket he will inspire
many a generation to come in politics. A legend in his own right and my Hero.

5.0 out of 5 starsa hatrick - world cup, cancer hospital & pakistan
By ali mahmood on 4 Oct. 2011
Format: Hardcover
Excellent book. essential and exciting reading for anyone interested in Pakistan.Firstly, it tells the story of Imran's life, and his personal development influenced by religion. this part of the book has a style reminiscent of Gandhi's autobiography, and is simple and straightforward. it shows Imran as honest, sincere, courageous and idealistic, compassionate about the hard life of poor Pakistanis, and determined to make a total effort to bring Pakistan back from the brink. he discards practical politics and sees things as right versus wrong.
he inspires, and wins respect. secondly the book is a good and accurate account of recent Pakistani political history, and the issues and problems that urgently need to be addressed today. thirdly the book describes Islam's role in history, and the qualities of tolerance, justice, values and education that made Islam the leading civilization for a thousand years. Forthly, it is a political manifesto which sets out Imran's objectives and struggle.
the book will certainly convince many readers that Imran is Pakistan's only hope. after reading this book, people will stop asking 'Can he win?' and instead ask, 'Can Pakistan survive if he doesn't win?'

4.0 out of 5 starsVery good though a little less hyperbole would be beneficial
By Chris Warne on 2 Dec. 2011
Format: Hardcover
Although not a fan of cricket myself, I was very excited when I heard that Khan was writing this book as he is now a well known political figure in Pakistan. The history of Pakistan is superbly presented. Dates, figures, and facts are here in abundance and these factors contribute to making the book highly informative. Khan makes the big political and social issues easy to understand for all, and his passion and patriotism is attested to on every page.

There are 2 reasons why I have not given this book 5 stars. Firstly, Khan comes across as extremely vain at times. Anyone would think there was no other famous cricketer in the the world! He also portrays himself as something of a saviour to Pakistan, the only hope the country has for the future. Conceited? I think so.

Secondly, I felt that there were too many in drawn out explanations for his theological beliefs. Whilst this is a partial biography and his religious views are to be respected, I felt that he came across as slightly overbearing and 'preaching' at times.

These 2 points aside, a very good read.

5.0 out of 5 starsCannot put the book down
By M. Amir on 18 Aug. 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I started reading this book on my plane journey to the USA. I am not an avid reader and I soon put a book down after only a few pages but I was glued to this one. I have never seen Pakistan but my ancestors are from Pakistan. Perhaps this affinity also increased my desire to know what has been happening to my parents country. Imran supplied a lot of answers in a concise, interesting and logical manner. Imran seems to be someone dedicated to social purpose altruistically and Pakistanis all over the world are pinning for a leader like Imran. May he be victorious and improve the well being of all Pakistanis with as he says islamic principals of welfare and equality. He is also a leader who can win the west over for the betterment of his nation.

5.0 out of 5 starsReview
By RAYHAAN on 25 Nov. 2011
Format: Hardcover
Nice book well put together,I don't normally read but this book draws you in from the first few pages, the first few pages contain information about his experience in jail etc. This book also provides you with sufficient amount of Pakistan's history and as being a 16 year old reading this book I was very fascinated on how military rule has destroyed the country. This book is ideal for people who want to not just read about Pakistan's history but also its current political climate and Pakistan's current state. The best thing I liked about this book was that he mentioned a lot on the tribal areas of Pakistan, explaining there history and culture in great detail.

I would definitely recommend this book to people who want to read about Pakistan's history as well as Imran Khans struggle and success.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent read and analysis of the War on Terror
By Mudasar on 25 Sept. 2011
Format: Hardcover
An excellent timely book which I couldnt put down from start to finish. A honest account of his life. I have read Imrans previous book which was more about his life but I was lost about half way through to be honest.
This book is a good insight into the realities and problems of the so called "War on Terror" and a great insight into the reality of Pakistani Politics given that Imran himself who set up his own Political Party ran in the elections and was imprisoned an number of times. It is clear that Imran is a much needed inspirational hero for the Pakistani masses who have been ravaged by corrupt Politicians and Generals. This man is a warrior, if only all the young in Pakistan could read this book and demand change for a better and brighter future. Unfortunately most of them cant read and it is only a man with the energy of Imran that can save the Pakistani People from the Politicians, the Army and Americas designs on the region.
