Editorial Reviews
Review
`it is impossible not to emphasise the significance of Khans effort.' Dr Tariq Rahman, The Herald, Sept. 2000.
`the documents contained in American Papers are a gold mine of very useful information. For one, they tell us that the myths we live by are, indeed, nothing but myths.' Dr Tariq Rahman, The Herald, Sept. 2000.
`Regardless of whether we are ready to learn any lessons from history, American Papers is a book which historians, political scientists and experts on international relations will find indispensable. One cannot thank Roedad Khan enough for having made the effort to bring such valuable documents together. The printing and binding are of very high quality which makes the book a pleasure to read despite its massive volume.' Dr Tariq Rahman, The Herald, Sept. 2000.
`The papers in this book clearly show that a large number of people in authority and in the political elite knew the truth about the war, the East Bengal crisis, and the 1971 conflict, but the people were kept in the dark ... The richest part of the papers deals with the East Bengal crisis (1967-71).' I A Rehman, Newsline, December 1999
`Probably the single largest disclosure of such historical documents concerning events in the region.' Reviewed 06/02/2000
