Euromoney have reviewed From Banking to the Thorny World of Politics by Shaukat Aziz with Anna Mikhailova, set to be published by Quartet books 26 May 2016.

So it’s no wonder that his friends urged him to write his memoirs, which are published this month. ‘From Banking to the Thorny World of Politics’ is a unique take on two of the institutions that have such an impact on our daily lives.

The book is full of insider’s anecdotes and a must-read for anyone interested in finance or global politics.

Much attention will focus on one incendiary chapter, ‘Bin Laden: Who knew what?’ It may have been forgotten that Aziz himself survived an Al-Qaeda suicide bombing attempt to assassinate him while in office, which drove him to engage in the fight against global terrorism.
