Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford. It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide. But one of the 20th century's great man-made disasters is also among the greatest of its human triumphs in terms of a people's will for self-determination. Mascarenhas describes his own book thus: 'This book is the unvarnished story of their the early leaders of Bangladesh times, essentially the sad history of the first 10 years of Bangladesh.
It is based on my close personal knowledge of the main protagonists; on more than separate interviews with the men and women involved in the dramatic events; and on official archives and documents which I had the privilege to inspect personally. The dialogue, whenever used, is a faithful reproduction of the words which my informants said they actually used during the events in which they were involved. David Taylor, a South Asia expert, praises the book's 'attention to detail and narrative' although he suggests that it is short on interpretation and treats certain episodes of lesser importance in 'excessive length'.
There may be an earlier printing in It is devoted 'to Yvonne and our children -- who have also paid the price'. They are popularly credited as two key architects of modern Bangladesh and the rule of each wa As if I knew nothing of the history of my country!
Well, though our leaders have failed to understand what needs to be done in Bangladesh, Anthony Mascarenhas- A Pakistani journalist, seems to have got it perfectly, as he ends this book stating 'Machination and murder have been the curse of Bangladesh-its legacy of blood. It will not end until public accountability and the sequence of crime and punishment is firmly established'.
This book is not just an enlightenment to the post-independence True or not, the events that are delineated in a Kafkaesque detail by Mr Mascarenhas paints a graphic and sordid tale about a country that could've been the mantelpiece of democracy, independence, economic and p A must read for all Bangladeshi!
This is the bo We have been taught and made proud from our childhood about the liberation war that took place in our country. But for some strange reason, a brisk halt has been made in almost every textbook at the day when Bangladesh got liberated from Pakistani oppression, 16th December to be precise, and after that very day, everything else seemed to go blank.
What went wrong with the country which had paid the highest price in the history of the world in exchange to its freedom, how did an incorrigible Apr 05, S. This is a must read for anyone interested in the history of Bangladesh post independence. The author is a reputed hand on the subject and has first hand knowledge being acquaintance with many a players. This is a tale of how dreams of a new nation went sour because of the very men it considered messiah. It is a tale of how lust for power destroys everything millions have sacrificed and worked for.
Eye opening narration told in a gr That's the only word required to describe this book. Anthony Mascarenhas delivers a fantasy-world narrative based on text book history.
In the span of a decade, Bangladesh has seen independence, a coup, a countercoup, a counter counter coup and a dozen other coup attempts. This is the story of the people behind these events, and the circumstances which allowed them to succeed or fail.
It tells the story of power-hungry syncophants, under-talented patriots and cold-blooded murderers. While Anthony Mascarenhas's Legacy of Blood is a standard read highlighting the atrocities committed by Pakistan's military against Bangladesh, if only Mascarenhas had lived to see today foreign affairs and politics in the region to provide his thought-leadership on Pakistan's continued denial and cover-up re history and the nation's downward spiral in terms of economic development and political leadership; and his nuanced and balanced understanding of Bangladesh's political outlook would have An amazing, scintillating, terrific and thrilling historical ride.
I have no words for this historical book. Not only does it constitute the bloody history of the nation after its birth and the political turbulence during the first 15 years, but also tells the reader of the diaspora and the sufferings of the general public from corrupt and inept politicians, inefficient systems and fruitless policies designed for malpractice and the attempted formation of an authoritarian regime.
Gripping book Fascinating first fifteen years of Bangladesh. Written in an absolutely perfect way. Finished it today. Came to know lots of things I didn't know earlier, although I have heard some criticism also about the author and his accuracy or motif for this book. It was non partially written by the perspective of the writer's point of view. Main features are three majors coup in Bangladesh. Which was full of conspiracy for the power and that lead to the most heinous murders and politics in the history of Bangladesh.
