Summary

In 1971, the Pakistani government orchestrated a brutal military crackdown against the Bengali population in East Pakistan - while the United States stuck by its ally Pakistan. Gary Bass' new book spotlights the "significant complicity" of U.S. President Richard Nixon and his national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, in this "forgotten genocide".

Worth while listen.

Certainly worth a listen about a fascinating subject that most people would probably know little about.
It could be argued that it should have been a bit longer, giving more 'flesh to the bones' on such topic.

informative

yet another war sponsored/escalated by the US, in the end both sides ended up with nuclear weapons still hissing at each other, something that will not dial down for decades, if not forever.
great job, US.
i despise policing that mainly targets getting a big friend on your side (in this case Russia and/or China over affairs starting in India it seems - often just playing more sides of the same conflict)

Too Brief

It is too brief to explain anything meaningful. This was a big historical event but wrapping in the 24 minutes will never give the whole picture and will confuse the listeners.
