The purpose of this study is to examine and analyse the cause and consequences of political failure, military intervention and the role played by the international actors on the event. This volume captures images of the important political incidents in Bangladesh during the volatile situation. The effect of the regime on overall politics, history and long-term governance has been discussed by the author, who was in the helms of affair as the Adviser to the President during this period, although was termed as defacto head of state and government. The book deals with the events of politics, civil society, military and the role of international relations.
