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.
