The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a Forgotten Genocide by Gary J. Bass

4.0

Great book. Well worth reading to learn more about American complicity in genocide in Bangladesh in the early 1970s. That said, although India comes off pretty well as do the brave American diplomats based in Dhaka at the time, it's a well balanced book with plenty of blame, analysis, and insight to go around. Even though I knew the general contours of that historical moment, I knew nothing about what was going on behind the scenes. Truly illuminating.
