Few episodes in South Asian history carry as many competing accounts as 1971. B. Z. Khasru sets those accounts against documentary evidence in Myths and Facts: Bangladesh Liberation War.
Drawing on declassified papers, interviews and his own reporting background, Khasru examines the diplomatic pressures surrounding the conflict, the roles played by outside powers, and claims that have hardened into common belief without much testing. The approach is investigative rather than celebratory throughout.
Useful to know upfront:
• Research built on declassified documents and personal accounts
• Attention to Indo-Pakistani relations and United States involvement
• Examination of widely repeated claims about the liberation war
• Written by a journalist with long experience of the region
History students, researchers and readers of political non-fiction will find this Rupa Publications title substantial, available at Boipoka.
