Description
The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a Forgotten Genocide A shocking and authoritative account of a pivotal chapter in American foreign policy, The Blood Telegram reveals the secret support of the US government for Pakistan in 1971, leading to atrocities in Bangladesh and a war between India and Pakistan. Drawing on previously unheard White House tapes, declassified documents, and extensive investigative reporting, Gary Bass uncovers a compelling story of superpower brinkmanship, war, scandal, and conscience. This book provides the first full account of the events that shaped the fate of Asia and left major strategic consequences for the world today. Bass's meticulous research sheds new light on a period of great tension and upheaval, and his findings are both revelatory and thought-provoking. Reprint edition, 544 pages, paperback.
