reviewed Discos and Democracy: China in the Throes of Reform on May 15, 2016
Discos and Democracy
Not the best book on the 1971 war,didn't hold my interest.He was not directly present in the theatre of operations,but observing events as head of the ISPR and only making occasional visits to the theatre of the operations.
But,he could observe the top brass at GHQ.Still,his personal views colour the narrative.He had migrated from India to Pakistan as an adult and had encountered issues of his own trying to adjust in the new country,before joining the army.
More a personal and distant view than an actual history of the war.
