The Myth of Independence is a 1969 book by Pakistani politician Zulfikar Ali Bhutto on Pakistan's foreign policy and international position. Published by Oxford University Press, the book examines Pakistan's relations with India, the United States, the Soviet Union, and the People's Republic of China, and argues that formal sovereignty did not by itself guarantee real independence for smaller states.[1]
The book was written after the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965 and is centered on Pakistan's search for autonomy in a world dominated by great-power rivalry.[2]
