Zafar Ullah Poshni was a young Pakistan Army captain when he was arrested for taking part in the famous ‘Rawalpindi Conspiracy’ of 1951, in which army officers of different ranks and top members of the Communist Party of Pakistan were arrested for allegedly conspiring to stage a coup against the government of Liaquat Ali Khan. They were sentenced to varying terms but were eventually released during the general amnesty of 1956. In the book, Zafar Ullah Poshni discusses the details of the Conspiracy and his experiences while he was incarcerated after being convicted. This is the eyewitness account of the last surviving accused of the Case.
