Event Description : "The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger And A Forgotten Genocide" by Gary J. Bass, Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University - book discussion. 

This magnificent history provides the first full account of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger’s secret support for Pakistan in 1971 as it committed shocking atrocities in Bangladesh—which led to war between India and Pakistan, shaped the fate of Asia, and left major strategic consequences for the world today. Drawing on previously unheard White House tapes, recently declassified documents, and his own extensive investigative reporting, Gary Bass uncovers an astonishing unknown story of superpower brinkmanship, war, scandal, and conscience. Revelatory, authoritative, and compulsively readable, The Blood Telegram is a thrilling chronicle of a pivotal chapter in American foreign policy. Winner of a series of Literary awards and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction.
