Abstract
The second volume of Rehman Sobhan’s memoirs, Untranquil Recollections From Dawn to Darkness Political Economy of Nation Building in Post- Liberation Bangladesh (Sobhan, 2022), deals primarily with the years 1972- 1975, which comprise probably the most difficult period of the nation’s history. Titanic battles were fought during this period over the country's policy direction. Over a short period of about 3.5 years, the epochal triumph of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman ended in a tragedy, which was captured by the title of S. A. Karim’s book, Sheikh Mujib: Triumph and Tragedy (Karim, 2009). The second volume of Sobhan’s memoirs, dealing with this period, thus, deserves special attention. The memoir begins with Sobhan’s return to liberated Bangladesh and ends with his going to exile (at the end of December 1975) after the coup of August 15 changed the political landscape of the country altogether. The heart of the story lies in the narration of his experience
