BANGLADESH AT WAR

Bangladesh at War is an important document written from a firsthand and military perspective of Bangladesh’s. I have gone through the book with great interest. It brings to our memory the events leading to the struggle for independence from Pakistan. It gives vivid description of the battles fought out in different sectors. The events have been narrated in simple, lucid and clear language. The people are more or less acquainted with the political aspect of the movement. They are eager to have graphic description of the bamles. The First Chief of Army Staff of the Independent Bangladesh, Major General K. M. Safiullah, fulfills that expectation. The book reveals moments of anxiety, suspense, retreat preparation, determination and victory in the battle fields. But the author has not omitted to portray the discrimination, neglect and well-planned subjugation suffered by the people of Bangladesh prior to the declaration of Independence.
