Written by a journalist and an academic who were close observers and analysis of the increasingly authoritarian 15-year regime, the book provides a key source of the sequence of events and critical turning points, motivations and behaviour of key actors, and the grievances that drove the movement. An account of one of the most surprising democratic revolutions in recent times, the book contributes to the scholarly literature on contentious politics and protest movements. It will be a valuable addition to debates about politics in the world’s eighth largest nation, addressing some of the myths and conspiracies that have sprung up in its wake and examining the prospects for democratic restoration in the post-uprising period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNaomi Hossain\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Global Research Professor of Development Studies at SOAS University of London.
