Currently reading "The Blood Telegram: Nixon, Kissinger, and a Forgotten Genocide" by Gary J. Bass (recommended by Lady Stardust in another thread). It deals with the brutal repression (basically a genocide) in 1971 in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) by the government of Pakistan, during which the Pakistani government was given military aid and diplomatic cover by Nixon and Kissinger against the advice of informed State Department officials on the ground. Quite a stunning book.
