The Guerillas of Dhaka in 1971
Hawladar Prokashoni, 2016. Hardcover. Cpmpelling firsthand account of Bangladesh’s Liberation War, focusing on the experiences and operations of young, mostly apolitical guerrilla fighters in Dhaka. "Written with authority and objectivity, the book departs from conventional war memoirs by emphasizing the “hit, run and win” tactics employed by the Mukti Bahini, many of whom abandoned comfortable lives for the uncertainties and dangers of guerrilla warfare. Rahman, who joined the struggle as a 16-year-old, provides a vivid narrative of the brutalities committed by the Pakistani army, the emotional and physical hardships endured by freedom fighters, and the collective spirit that united ordinary Bengalis in the fight for independence." Good / Very Good. Item #9668
