The Liberation struggle of Bangladesh in 1971 was the main cornerstone in the making of its nationhood. This book by Masud Ahmed has painted the determined and sanguinary march of 75 million Bengalees towards that glorious path. The writer has given appropriate emphasis on the elements of history and politics suitable for this kind of fiction. The arguments of handful Bengalees who were still not disillusioned with the idea of a united Pakistan have also been given a treatment by the writer. The material and ideological interests of Powers around have cast a shadow on this story. The ethnic traits of the rulers of the time influencing the pace of the struggle will strongly attract the readers’ attention. Ahmed’s style of storytelling is laconic and dispassionate. We hope this book will be of particular interest for foreign readers keen to know Bangladesh. This is one of those handful fictions written in English by any Bangladeshi writer about Bangladesh’s independence struggle.
