About the Book: This book offers a critical analysis of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s leadership missteps after Bangladesh’s independence. Ignoring trusted advisors, he appointed pro-Pakistani figures to key roles, which later enabled Pakistani efforts to destabilize the new nation. He marginalized key liberation leaders like Tajuddin Ahmed and, despite his secular vision, allowed Islamists to exploit institutions like the Islamic Foundation. His most controversial move was establishing one-party rule under BAKSAL and curbing press freedom—actions that, despite warnings, fostered political conspiracy and led to his downfall. The book also explores Mujib’s attempts to gain Pakistan’s recognition, which strained ties with India and deepened his vulnerability.
