Musharraf’s life in the hot seat of Pakistan’s politics is a rollercoaster tale of a soldier-turned-politician, a commando, a self-styled statesman, a sophisticated globetrotter, the resolute face of the US-led global war on terror, and the feared, revered and finally disowned president of an Islamic republic, who is smitten with an ‘enlightened moderation’ that succumbs, in the end, to the many contradictions within the man himself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis no-holds-barred political biography by an astute political commentator and journalist provides perspective on the man whose politics have changed the face of the Indian subcontinent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOMMENTS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrash, open, calculating and self-serving, Gen.
