Memoirs of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy with a Brief Account of His Life and Work
Memoirs of a former chief minister of Bengal and prime minister of Pakistan, chiefly on politics in Pakistan; includes his biography by the editor.
Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy
Perhaps the only politician to straddle the East and West wings of Pakistan, Suhrawardy was well aware of the centrifugal tendencies that threatened to unmake the new nation. As such, his entire career after Independence was devoted to removing the growing misunderstandings between the two wings. Ikramullah shows how the events that culminated in the collapse of democracy and the establishment of military rule in 1958 had their beginnings in the ruling cliques's maneuverings to keep Suhrawardy out of power. Their success, unfortunately, meant the end of efforts to bridge the differences between East and West Pakistan which resulted in, just eight years after the death of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy, the secession of East Pakistan from the West to form the independent state of Bangladesh.

Shaista Ikramullah's exquisite collection of essays examines how in this women's world the vanished glory of the past lived on. It is in the pageantry of the wedding ceremonies, in the dazzle of the jewelry, and in the variety of dresses that one still finds the magic of the Orient and the East.
Shameful Flight
Ranging from the fall of Singapore in 1942 to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi in 1948, this text provides a vivid behind-the-scenes look at Britain's decision to divest itself from the crown jewel of its empire. Wolpert, a leading authority on Indian history, paints memorable portraits of all the key participants.
Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
When Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s diaries came to light in 2004, it was an indisputably historic event. His daughter, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, had the notebooks—their pages by then brittle and discoloured—carefully transcribed and later translated from Bengali into English. Written during Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s sojourns in jail as a state prisoner between 1967 and 1969, they begin with his recollections of his days as a student activist in the run-up to the movement for Pakistan in the early 1940s. They cover the Bengali language movement, the first stirrings of the movement for Bangladesh independence and self-rule, and powerfully convey the great uncertainties as well a...
