Diplomacy and the Independence of Bangladesh

Diplomacy and the Independence of Bangladesh is unique in itself, penned by a social scientist with extensive upbringing in studies on diplomacy, strategic fields, peace research, modern history, and international relations. A witness to the momentous events of Bangladesh's struggle for emancipation, as they unfolded during Pakistani rule in East Pakistan, the author also sets in conceptual designs for objective appraisals of the farsighted statesmanship of its founder, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, with added reflections on shifting dimensions of diplomacy and their ramifications for mankind's waning civilizational journey.
