This book is an objective study of Bengali separatism especially during
the crucial period of 1969-71. Aside from discussing the various factors
responsible for the disintegration of Pakistan the learned author has tried
to analyse the circumstances and causes which led to he failure of March
negotiations, the role of military junta, the role of Pakistani leaders,
and the role of India and Super Powers during the crisis.
Most of the books that have been written onthe emergence of Bangaldesh
project a particular viewpoint. This study is based mostly upon the material
published in the internationla press, personal interviews conducted by
the author and onsome "disclosures" regardingthe inside story which is
being revealed for the first time, the sources of which the author apologises
not to identify.
