Granddaughter to a murdered Prime Minister, daughter to a murdered father, niece to a murdered aunt ....The history of this extraordinary family mirrors the tumultuous events in Pakistan itself, and the quest to find the truth behind her father’s murder has led Bhutto to the highest echelons of her country’s volatile political establishment.

Award-winning journalist Fatima Bhutto makes her only Midlands appearance to speak about Songs of Blood and Sword, a book of international significance by a young woman who has already established herself as a brave and passionate campaigner.

“This is an important and timely book offering a rare insight into the violent world of Pakistani politics told by a direct witness. It’s also the story of a daughter’s love for her murdered father and many other members of her family.” Bob Geldof
