## Description

Review: An insightful combination of personal experiences and factual recollection - A beautifully written historical refection of how Bangladesh, Pakistan & India got embroiled in a war which has had lasting effects even today. Perhaps the Bangladeshis would never forgive the Pakistanis for the atrocities committed by the Pakistani army; perhaps the Pakistanis would never cease to believe the Indian hand in breaking up West & East Pakistan; and perhaps the future and successive Pakistani governments would never apologize for the genocide that took place. Based on these three pillars of factual assessments & the author's own travels in Bangladesh, this book provides a picture as vivid and as painful as the Indian sub-continent has been over the past 75-years.
Review: The Complete Truth about 1971 - This is the second writing by Anam Zakaria I had the opportunity to read after her excellent work on 1947 partition. As usual, she has presented the complete truth about 1971 in this work, an unbiased account of the happenings in this subcontinent in that year. A 360° narrative that presents the whole picture before us unlike many other versions available on the subject that cater to a particular agenda. A must read for all those interested in a truthful narrative of the event and believe in humanism ! It will be great if some good film maker takes it as a base to produce a film on the subject for wider audience that will help spreading the truth to a larger segment of people. Keep it up, Anam Beta !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ decent read and made and attempt to offer a balance
*by S***H on 2 October 2024*

Good effort and tabled some difficult questions. She tried to offer some space to the pakistani side of the story without changing the overall narrative and that is praiseworthy. What could have been better if she would have been able to offer a little insight into the analysis of pakistani mainstream thinking on the subject. Also this is more of a collection of accounts and relevant questions thereof and doesn’t dwell into the overall geopolitical and military aspects of the conflict, a fact that is acknowledged in the titled itself
