it's strange how little consciousness of the 1971 genocide in Bangladesh there is in the West, given how awful it was. a combination of racism and Cold War alliances with Pakistan, I suppose, but you'd think that there would have been some breakthrough book of the "Rape of Nanking" scale by now
hasn't broken through the like the rape of nanking but "the blood telegram" is excellent.

agreed! but it's also more about Nixon and Kissinger than Bangladesh itself, though it's excellent.
