When The Earth Trembled

1. Social scientist, artist, internationalist and patriot, Professor Haider Khan’s concise analytical account of Bangladesh’s national liberation movement captures its life and death struggles for freedom, culminating half a century ago. His tome should also contribute to efforts of patriots and friends of Bangladesh to improve its people’s wellbeing. Khan’s analytical insights are also likely to catalyze debates relevant to the times we live in.
