About the Author

Brigadier Abdul Rehman Siddiqi has devoted much of his life to an in-depth study of military history and analysis of civil-military relations in Third World countries, in particular Pakistan. He was awarded the Tamgha-i-Difa-i-Pakistan for active service in the Chhamb-Jaurian area in 1965, and the Sitara-i-Khidmat in 1969.

Reviews

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. DAWN
