About the Book

When a brutal military regime commits one of the worst genocides in history against its own people in East Pakistan, a loyal soldier turns rebel to avenge the deaths of those innocent millions of his community. He makes a daredevil escape through own deployments, reaches the "other side" and trains the guns on the very killers he once swore to serve. After months of bloody war, the soldier and his fellow fighters win victory. Bangladesh is born. That soldier, an army captain, fulfills a debt to his people. He tells his story in A Soldier's Debt.
A Soldier's Debt is an emotion packed personal account of atrocities and triumph seen through the eyes and soul of a man on the ground. It captures intense internal conflicts against a setting fully loaded with suspense, bravery and thrills. In 350 pages of in-your-face details, the soldier (author) walks the reader through an escape that changes one's life and a conflict that changes the world. Reader will relive the period, as writer and reader become one.
About the Author: A military officer turned diplomat, Rashed Chowdhury was born in then East Bengal at a time when the British were quitting India. Enduring a difficult childhood and struggling through adolescent life, he joined the military in 1963. As an army captain in 1971, Mr. Chowdhury switched his loyalties from Pakistan to Bangladesh after learning about the military's killings of and brutality to the people of his community in East Pakistan. In a daredevil Jeep drive through his own country's defenses, he escaped from Lahore in West Pakistan and reached the Bangladesh war front to fight for his country's independence. His valor did not go unnoticed; he won a gallantry award. In 1976, Mr. Chowdhury moved to the Foreign Ministry. He served as his country's representative for 20 years in the Middle East, Africa, Southeast Asia, Far East and Latin America. Married to a devoted wife for 43 years, Mr. Chowdhury and his spouse have two wonderful sons. He enjoys the retired life reading, writing, traveling, gardening, spending time in the gym, and taking pleasure in tolerating the tantrums of "three brats" -- his lovely and endearing grandkids. It is for them and the children of future generations that he hopes his memoir will inspire the drive for peace.
