Publisher's Synopsis

Son of a president.
Heir to a throne.

Humayun Mirza is the son of Iskander Mirza, first President of Pakistan, and as the last direct heir to the Mughal throne of East India, a hereditary prince. In his remarkable life, he has met or been involved with world figures ranging from Gandhi to Vivien Leigh and from Winston Churchill to Thomas E. Dewey.

He knew and worked with (and sometimes against) Pakistan's leaders from the very beginning through the death of General Zia. A career executive with The World Bank, Humayun Mirza was involved in major economic development initiatives throughout Central and South America, Nigeria, and elsewhere.

In this gripping and insightful autobiography, you'll experience intrigue and adventure and gain insight into the turbulent legacy of Partition.
