First-hand, untold, action stories from the war zone
LIBERATION: 1971 is a collection of first-hand accounts by soldiers who fought in the War of Liberation. Published for the first time, and narrated with disarming candour and honest, the book highlights the achievements of the Indian Armed Forces and the Mukti Bahini, as well as the heroic sacrifices of the citizens of East Pakistan that together brought an end to the tyranny and genocide of the Pakistan establishment and gave birth to a new nation: Bangladesh. How can any nation not be proud of soldiers such as these? Their saga of courage, valour, suffering and pain must never be forgotten, if we are to preserve our freedom and our way of life. A compelling read for young and old alike.
Book Reviews
While the military victory of 1971 has spawned many books.' and novels, the stories of soldiers who made it possible have largely remained untold or less publicised. This effort by the Indian War Veterans Association fills that gap commendably must read for those interested' in military history as well as human achievements. Nitin A. Gokhale, Defence Analyst
The liberation of Bangladesh is an unparalled military achievement of the post World War-II era, and one that was accomplished by India's armed forces with professionalism courage and honourable conduct, with the assistance of the Mukti Bahini and Bangladeshi bravehearts. This book is a unique collection of personal accounts, that must be read for us to appreciate how victory was achieved, in the '71 War. Maroof Raza, Defence Analyst, Times Now
