Imran Khan draws comparisons between the two cultures that moulded him and analyzes the cultural differences between East and West, encompassing the religious beliefs and political ideals he has encountered over the years. Imran Khan's entry into politics began with his crusage to build a cancer hospital in Lahore after the death of his mother when he achieved the incredible by raising sufficient funds to complete and maintain the hospital, the only one of its kind in the Third World. He writes about Islam and its distorted perception in the Western world and, leading on from that, he considers his own marriage to Jemima Goldsmith as an example of a relationship that crosses cultural and religious borders. Finally, he discusses life in Pakistan, a country run by mafias, and the likely future of his people and country.
