Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was the Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1973 to 1977, after serving as President from 1971 to 1973, and the founder of Pakistan People's Party.
A Sindhi landowner, Bhutto was educated at Oxford and Berkeley, and called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn.
Falling out over the Indo-Pakistani war of 1965, Bhutto parted ways with Ayub in 1966.
He hastily wrote The Myth of Independence a year later, his seminal work on Pakistan's foreign policy.
Following another war with India and the secession of Bangladesh in 1971, Bhutto became President of Pakistan the same year.
Bhutto was deposed in a military coup in 1977, and sentenced to death by the Supreme Court in 1979, for authorizing the murder of a party dissident.
Witness to Splendour, a compilation of Bhutto's testimony before the courts, was published posthumously.
