Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lieutenant General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi HJ, MC (1915 - 2 February 2004), was a general officer of the Pakistan Army. In 1971, as a Lieutenant General, Niazi was in charge of Eastern contingent of the Pakistani Army during the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War. He is held responsible by some within the Pakistani Military for having surrendered his forces of nearly 93,000 men to the joint forces of India and Mukti Bahini (Bangladesh Forces) at a time when joint forces were preparing to lay siege on Dhaka and thus bringing to close the Liberation War. Niazi had, however, always insisted that he had acted according to the orders of the High Command. Following the war, Niazi was made a scapegoat and blamed for much of Pakistan''s massive human rights violations in Bangladesh (he was personally indicted of smuggling and rape by the Hamoodur-Rehman commission) as well as the military and strategic losses during the war. He was subsequently relieved of his position in the army.
