"The publication of a book by Lal Khan on the Pakistan revolution of 1968-9, Pakistan\'s Other Story, is a most important addition to the theoretical arsenal of international Marxism. In 1968, the attention of most people in Europe was absorbed by the revolutionary events in France. The Pakistan revolution of 1968-9 was one of the greatest revolutionary movements of the 20th century. It is rich in lessons and Lal Khan\'s book is an outstanding summing up of these lessons. It deserves most careful study by every revolutionary." (jacket)
