A good book to learn more about an under-researched war: the 1971 Indo-Pakistan war which led to the creation of Bangladesh.
The author puts the war /crisis in the context of global politics and the US - Soviet Cold War which was raging in the 1970s. He also attempts to provide a balanced view though he often fails. Indeed, the book focuses more on the crisis as it plays out on US domestic politics.
The books adds to the academic literature on the short war but is aimed more at the student of US politics rather than those interested in the minutae of South Asian politics.
Only for the very interested.
