  • "Bangladesh (literally, the land of the Bengalis) is the most recent addition (in 1971) to the independent nations of South Asia. It had previously been known as East Pakistan, and prior to that it was part of British India. It has been inhabited by peopleof different races and religions and ruled over by different leaders who imposed different regimes. It is overpopulated and underdeveloped, but there is much more to it than that. Bangladesh has a long and oftentimes proud tradition: it has produced writers and artists of genius, and it is an important outpost of Islam. And, with a population of some 130 million, it is one of the larger countries in the world. The fourth edition of the Historical Dictionary of Bangladesh greatly expands on the previous edition through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 700 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important people, places, events, and institutions, as well as significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects."

  • "Identical to the other editions in its arrangement, the volume begins with a chronology from 1500 BC right up to events in the last quarter of 2009. The 36-page introduction provides an overview of the land and people, early history, Islamic rule, Pakistan period, independence, and the new democratic system. What follows is the major section, an A-Z compilation of subject and name entries important to the development of Bangladesh throughout its history. The entries run from short dictionary-like definitions to much longer ones, such as those that touch on Elections and Militancy. --from publisher description."
