Bangladesh 1971 : Dreadful Experience
Original price was: 900.00৳ .675.00৳ Current price is: 675.00৳ .
Bangladesh went through dreadful experiences in 1971 when the Pakistan Army and their local collaborators committed the crime of genocide all over the land for nine months. The Bengali book 1971 : Dreadful Experiences, published in 1989, created big impact on the readers as it depicted the human aspect of the sufferings. The anthology included 50 narratives of atrocity committed in different parts of the country in various months. Few of the narratives were translated and published in the anthology “Genocides in the Twentieth Century”, but the international readers could not be reached because of the language barrier. The expatriate youths of Bangladesh came forward to meet the challenge and created a group to translate and edit the book. They wanted to give faces to the millions of people killed and tortured by presenting stories of their suffering to an international audience. The book of mass atrocities can be termed as Black Book of Genocide, difficult to read but essential to say ‘Never Again.

Bullets of ’71 : A Freemdom Fighter’s Story
Original price was: 900.00৳ .600.00৳ Current price is: 600.00৳ .
Bullets of `71: A Freedom Fighter’s Story details Dr. Nuran Nabi’s experience growing up in rural Bangladesh and living through the tumultuous episodes of the Bangladesh liberation movement and the liberation war. This is the true story of how a frail young man developed into a politically conscious student activist before transforming into a heroic freedom fighter in the Bangladesh Liberation War.
Throughout Dr. Nabi’s narrative, the untold stories of the Bangladesh Liberation War unfold. The sacrifices and heroic actions captured through Dr. Nabi’s words define more than his accomplishments, they define his entire generation. The Bangladesh Liberation War was a people’s war. Men and women, young and old, students, farmers, bureaucrats, laborers, political activists, and defected Bengali soldiers of the Pakistani military, all joined the liberation war. Bullets of `71 is their story.
But among all the pages in this book none are more candid and horrific than those that cover the atrocities committed by the Pakistani military. Although the Bangladesh genocide unfolded during the nine months of the liberation war, Dr. Nabi thoughtfully separates these stories to remind us of why he and his fellow freedom fighters fought.
Bullets of `71: A Freedom Fighter’s Story is a captivating story that captures the elements of the universal struggle for freedom.

Catalyst : In the Wake of Great Bhola Cyclone
Original price was: 900.00৳ .675.00৳ Current price is: 675.00৳ .
The smell come first, then the tops of coconut palms : flouting on tiny stalks above the placid hay- at last the low mud bank with its horrcandans harden of decaying bodies. I had to run the dinghy down the coast for over a mile before I could find a spot to land without stepping an one of the luckless victims of the cyclone. I scrambled up the slippery bank, nearly retackling, and stood on a dirt mound that only last week had been a home. There before me was a beautiful, golden, flattened and utterly desolate land…
― Jon Rohde’s account of landing on Manpura, November 23, 1970
Catalyst is story of the most devastating cyclone in history, which struck one of the most overpopulated and defenseless places on earth. On November 12, 1970, a massive storm build up a twenty-foot high wall of water that surged with deadly force across the low-lying islands in the Bay of Bengal. The islanders, along with their lives tic, boats, possessions and any buildings not made of concrete, were flung into the raging wind and sea. Only the strongest survived. With an estimated half million deaths, the Great Bhola Cyclone stands as the worst in recorded history.
Drawing on original field notes, archival research, recollections of participants, interviews and memoirs, ‘Catalyst’ tells the true story of the response of a group of young friends to this unprecedented natural disaster, and to the subsequent conflict that led to the new nation of Bangladesh. A compelling tale about the choices that define us and shape our lives, ‘Catalyst’ illustrates how times of great calamity and confusion can become a cartography of human purpose.
