Bangladesh Wins Freedom

From the foreword: "War is no substitute for peace. But freedom fighters must protect the honour of their dear motherland at all costs. Since the colonial rulers unleashed a savage war and genocide on the unarmed innocent Bengalee Civilians, the Freedom fighters were left with no option but to fight for the freedom of Bangladesh. As the readers in Bangladesh and in overseas go through the book, they may be pleasantly surprised by and even take comfort in the fact that many of the freedom fighters who fought the liberation war so gallantly against such a powerful enemy sustaining grievous injuries or embracing martyrdom in the battlefields, genuinely sought peace rather than war. They nursed no ill-feeling for the peace-loving Pakistanis; rather they, even in their dying moments, felt that forgiveness was far more desirable than killing, and peace was more coveted than reprisals.

This book, Bangladesh wins freedom, authored by Musa Sadik will convince the readers beyond any doubt that along with Bangladesh, countries like South Africa, Palestine, Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor, while experiencing bloodshed for their liberation also realised that forgiveness and peace, not war or enmity are the best way for achieving national objectives."
