Description
The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a Forgotten Genocide by Gary J. Bass is a gripping account of a pivotal chapter in the Cold War. In 1971, the US supported Pakistan's military dictatorship as it brutally suppressed a historic free election, leading to one of the worst humanitarian crises of the twentieth century. The author draws on previously unheard White House tapes, declassified documents, and extensive interviews with key figures to reveal the full extent of Nixon and Kissinger's involvement in this tragedy. The book sheds new light on the US's role in shaping Asia's destiny for decades and confronts the hidden truth behind a tragedy that was far bloodier than Bosnia. This is a compelling work of politics, personalities, military confrontation, and Cold War brinksmanship that will appeal to anyone interested in the complexities of international relations and the inner workings of the White House.
