#1 He sounds a bit more rational in his newly released book;
Imran Khan 'understood how people lose will to live' after divorce
In a new book that charts his rise from political no-hoper, he says that when he married Miss Goldsmith in 1995 - she was 21 and he 43 - he had no intention of setting up his own political party.
He said he discussed the issue endlessly with her and adds: There was simply no way left but for decent Pakistanis to get involved in politics.

The party was established the following year but in his first election in 1997 his party won no seats and he describes it as the Charge of the Light Brigade but without the horses and without the arms.

He said that after the drubbing, I have to say I was roasted by the media...People love to see an icon fall, it is part of human nature, and we had been completely wiped out. It wasnt just defeat, it was decimation.

Meanwhile his wife, who had converted to Islam when she married him, was faced with allegations that she was part of a Zionist plot to take over Pakistan.
