Written from a historian’s perspective, this book analyses the role Mohammad Ali Jinnah played as the first Governor General of Pakistan. In the brief yet significant period that he was in office, Jinnah fought the battle for Pakistan’s survival, providing it with a political, social, economic, and diplomatic base. Substantial efforts were made to put the new country on the path of peace and progress, which would lead it to become one of the trendsetting states in time to come. Jinnah, as Governor General of the country, always remained the pivotal point in this struggle. This book highlights his contributions and also evaluates whether Jinnah was within his constitutional limits when he exercised executive powers as head of state in a parliamentary form of government. The book is based on primary source materials collected from Pakistan, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, India, and Bangladesh.
