Heart of Bangladesh is the second book in the Human Tragedies Series, which is a series of ten standalone tragedies each focusing on a unique Human Tragedy by Canadian author, musician, and filmmaker; Kai Kazi.
Heart of Bangladesh takes you back to 1971, when the Bengali people of East Pakistan gained independence from Pakistan and became a sovereign country known today as Bangladesh. The book covers the first three months of the war where an estimated 200,000 women were raped, tortured and killed during the war.
In Heart of Bangladesh; in the midst of the Bangladeshi liberation war few fared well. The soldiers, the flames and the utter desolation overcame many, but some fought back. In the middle of the chaos Maryam seeks her brother, Mamun, while Archer, an US ambassador, watches the city he has come to love so dearly burn. Nothing is consistent but the fear, felt by all for all, and though the consequences seem to remain within Bangladesh the implications reach much, much farther than anyone could ever have guessed they might.
