Since its hard-won independence from Pakistan, Bangladesh has been
ravaged by economic and environmental disasters. Only recently has the
country begun to emerge as a fragile, but functioning, parliamentary
democracy. The story of Bangladesh, told through the pages of this
concise and readable book, is a truly remarkable one. By delving into
its past, and through an analysis of the economic, political and
social changes that have taken place over the last twenty years, the
book explains how Bangladesh is becoming of increasing interest to the
international community as a portal into some of the key issues of our
age. In this way the book offers an important corrective to the view
of Bangladesh as a failed state.
