The Betrayal of East Pakistan

Lieutenant-General A. A. K. Niazi of the Eastern Command was the man whose fate it was to direct the operation that resulted in the dismemberment of Pakistan. Many books have been written about that unforgettable year in Pakistan’s history, 1971, and the terrible events that it spawned. Niazi’s own account of events provides an insider’s view of that fateful time and fills a huge gap in the recorded history of the period.
