| Summary, etc. | The Blood Telegram: India's Secret War in East Pakistan is a gripping account on the actual events that preceded the Indo-Pakistan war in 1971. Gary J Bass, American author and Professor narrates the truth behind the events that shook South Asia, sparking off one of the bloodiest wars in the 20th century – the attack on East Pakistan. His revelations come from a thorough study of newly declassified documents, unheard Whitehouse tapes and a meticulous investigation.<br/>This book investigates the relation between key players that sparked off the attacks in Bangladesh-specifically India, Pakistan, the United States of America, China and the Soviet Union. Bass reveals the decisions taken by Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, that catalyzed the break between India and Bangladesh. He also describes the role of the United States of America, especially that of Nixon and Kissinger, hence highlighting the nature of policy making in Washington.<br/>It is understood that the history of the Indo-Pakistan friction popularly known by the masses is not as it seems. There were other players at hand that have no mention, yet played a key role in determining the actions of nation leaders. This breakthrough book has caught the attention of historians and political figures worldwide. |
