Jinnah, Pakistan and Islamic Identity: The Search for Saladin

Rating:
Summary: It takes on too many things at once and Jinnah gets lost.
Review: While the author tries to talk about Jinnah, he also tries to talk about South Asia in the same breath. In addition to that, he tries to portray typical stereotypes about how Muslims are "kicked around on the world stage" and how Pakistan must accept itself as a "lesser partner" in South Asia. He takes on too many things at once in no particular order, and then tries to propogate the innuendo that Jinnah fought against. Is that the way to write about the founder of a nation celebrating its fiftieth anniversary? Certainly not!
