Fictional and Historical Perspectives On the Pakistani Military Coup of 1958.
This paper compares two perspectives on the Pakistani military coup of 1958. One is the fictional interpretation of the leaders' meetings, as told by Salman Rushdie in his novel "Midnight's Children" from the perspective of an 11-year-old boy. The other is the more traditional, politically thorough, multiple-perspective retelling in Ian Talbot's "Pakistan: a modern history". 3 pgs. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
