Chronicles of Courage: Caught in the Crossfire: A Novel of the Bangladesh War of 1971
A NOVEL OF THE BANGLADESH WAR OF 1971
Dhiman is most excited to meet Ruhul, a refugee from East Pakistan. All he and his classmates can talk about is the war that is sure to happen, and Ruhul's friendship gives him a unique insight (which makes everyone think he is very cool).
But then the war comes too close, as his journalist father disappears across the border to cover events unfolding there. And when the constant battles between his mother, aunt and uncle reach a crisis point, it is only Ruhul who can help Dhiman go in search of his missing father in a land already torn apart by war...
Award-winning author Lesley D. Biswas's exciting and thought-provoking novel is a vivid depiction of a society in transition and a boy struggling to find courage.
The CHRONICLES OF COURAGE series explores moments and movements in India after independence that have shaped the life of the nation.
