Just read Maj-Gen A.O Mitha's Unlikely Beginnings !

It makes for a very depressing read especially when it talks about the rampant inefficiency and ineptitude that led to the failures in '71; plus if what is talked therein is true......Maj-Gen Mitha keh saaath ziyadiii key hum neiii....denying him pension(for a long time), harassing him, prematurely retiring him etc.

What do you think guys ? @Icarus @Xeric @Horus @fatman17

Ironically enough whereas Ayub and Yayha are talked about in a very disparaging manners (in terms of their competence as professional soldiers); he seemed to consider both of them anything but incompetent fools. In fact Ayub bailed out his SSG Project loads of times and gave him a lot of freedom to do what he wanted to do during its formation while others within the military were not so keen on seeing a special services unit forming. And even Yahya, according to him, wasn't as inept as a soldier as many make him out to be.

Though he blames them both for Operation Gibralter and '71 defeat because the buck stopped with them.

But it was very surprising to read about how Yayha was getting completely falsified information coming from East Pakistan; he even mentioned an incident whereby Niazi (or someone else) ordered attacking the Enemy and afterwards tall figures of Enemy Casualties and the success of the mission was talked about but because he had stayed behind to observe it as it was being conducted by one of his older units he found out that there was No Enemy and No Casualties to speak off....it was all nonsense for PR purposes before the Chief !

Then he is very unforgiving on Gul Hassan !

And the talk of the atrocities committed by the Mukhti Bahini and other such Bengalis outfits well before the start of Operation Searchlight made my stomach turn !

Picked up the 5th in series " THE BLOOD OF GODS : BY CONN IGGULDEN at 6:30 yesterday evening---went to bed 2 in the only because had a job interview the next day----.

The speech that Mark Antony ( William Shakespeare )gives in front of the public after Ceasar's death and before his body being cremated is mesmerizing---.
