This memoir of Jinnah from his private secretary begins with an account of the years 1944 to 1947 in which Khurshid reconstructs Jinnah's thinking during this period, and has provided several footnotes to the history of those times. The second part of the book is comprised of interviews, conducted by the author, of several prominent political figures, a Bombay acquaintance of Jinnah, and Fatima Jinnah, offering refreshingly frank glimpses into the character of the founder of Pakistan.
