South Asia exploded in 1971. Throughout this fateful year Siddiq Salik was in Dhaka as a uniquely privileged observer and participant in the political and human drama which culminated in the Indo-Pakistan war and the creation of Bangladesh. During his two years as a prisoner of war, he was able to ponder and digest the facts and analyse the complex circumstances which underlay the high drama. He has produced an authoritative narrative, dispassionate in tone and firmly anchored in fact.
