My Brother is the biography ofMuhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder ofPakistan, attributed to his sisterFatima Jinnah. It is claimed that the publication ofHector Bolitho's book,Jinnah Creator of Pakistan, in 1954 prompted her to write about her brother as it was felt that Bolitho's book had failed to bring out the political aspects of her brother's life.[1] It was published by theQuaid-i-Azam Academy in 1987,[2] while Fatima Jinnah died in 1967.
The book focused on his political aspirations and how his failing health affected them.The Daily Times summarised it as "...he was aware of the peril his failing health posed, thus wanted to do whatever he could to build the new country whose existence was precarious owing to lack of resources and enormous challenges on the economic and political fronts." It explores his feelings of betrayal in old age and sickness, for example, when picked up by an ambulance when struggling to breathe, it ran out of fuel, and he then lay in wait for an hour for another to come.[3]
