In his candid autobiography Lieutenant-General Gul Hassan Khan recounts his experiences as ADC to the Quaid-i-Azam which gave him an insight into the character of the founder of Pakistan. This enabled him to assess, in the light of standards set by Jinnah, the politicians who later occupied centre-stage. The authors main concern in the book is with leadership, with the rapport that is, or should be, established between the commander and the men he leads. General Gul Hassan also narrates and analyses dispassionately the events of the India-Pakistan wars of 1965 and 1971. The final section of the book covers events after the fall of Dhaka, and deals with the authors relationship with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
