Archer Blood

In “The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a Forgotten Genocide,” Gary
J. Bass, a professor of politics at Princeton, has revived the terrible and
little-known story of the birth of Bangladesh in 1971, and of the sordid
and disgraceful White House diplomacy that attended it. This is a dark and
amazing tale, an essential reminder of the devastation wrought by the
hardhearted policy and outright bigotry that typified much of the diplomacy
of the cold war. It is not a tale without heroes, though; a number of
American diplomats — most especially a man named Archer Blood — risked and
even sacrificed their careers by refusing to knuckle under to the White
House and telling the truth about what was happening on the ground.
