Just starting my reading, Know some stuff but its patchy. Was there BCCI stuff in Pakistan or am I imagining this? Probably some connection to the Mujhadin funding???
re: the aristocracy, these were apparently the biggest enemies of Bhuto's pop. who rulled from roughly 70-77 Much of the Pak feudal types had the strongest ties to the British surprise.
Bhuto 1, was involved in both disasterous wars with India in 65 and 71, but managed to shirk the blame and the discredited army let him keep the tent propped up for a while. Nationalized all kinds of stuff, considerably to the left of his daughter. What interests me is this is when Nixon kissinger made his Pakistan "Tilt" in 71? How weird that this author describes it as a time when Pop Bhuto was weakening ties with US and stregnthening them with China. And just at the moment when, Moorer Radford were listening in on Henry's trips to China. Perhaps the Nixon tilt was with the ISI behind the back of Bhuto 1?? Anyway I hope to find out.
