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

5.0

Well conducted research using credible sources ( White House tapes, declassified archives etc) . A good example of investigative journalism. Kudos to the author for unearthing a relatively forgotten episode (outside S.Asia) of state sponsored genocide. The book makes a case for compelling reading. It is good to know that the 1971 Govt of India did not cave into the bullying tactics of USA and China . It went on with its stated objective of liberating Bangladesh from the clutches of brutal military adminstrators who were killing people based on their race, language and religion.
