review 1: Surprisingly readable and interesting history of Pakistan's genocide in Bangladesh, through the lens of the non-intervention of the US (and tacit support). Utterly unflattering portrait of Nixon and Kissinger, that has filled me with the perverse urge to read up more on their interplay in the White House. An especially worthwhile read if you are interested in Nixon and Kissinger's parallel secret war in Cambodia.
review 2: A well-researched book and important topic. However, I wish Mr. Bass provided more analysis or perspectives from the Bangladeshi or Pakistani points of view. The book at times reads like a stream of cables or transcripts without analysis. I appreciate that Mr. Bass shone a light on the bigotry of Nixon and Kissinger with respect to Indians... more. Henry Kissinger is a war criminal in the likeness of Wouter Basson of South Africa. Somehow he walks free and successful even though he is morally bankrupt and has the blood of millions on his hands. less
