Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In March 1971, the military in East Pakistan launched the suicidal attack which was to lead, over nine long months, to the collapse of military strength and civil society in the region. As chief of Inter Services Public Relations and press advisor to both the president and chief martial law administrator, Abdul Rehman Siddiqi was in a position to observe and analyse the developing tragedy in both public and political circles. His account of this traumatic episode is
refreshingly free from polemic, observant and candid.

East Pakistan: The Endgame is insightful and forthright testimony by someone who observed the military-political command at close-quarters during Pakistan's greatest crisis. It is a personal account, not a concise history, and thus a rich source for the definitive history of the East Pakistan crisis that remains to be written. Better late than never, Brig Siddiqi has performed an invaluable service for future historians.
