Khawaja Azimuddin Receives an Outstanding Review of his book The Boy Refugee

Author of The Boy Refugee, Khawaja Azimuddin, received an exceptional review of his book from Midwest Book Review in their most recent October 2020 “Bookwatch". The reviewer highlights author’s childhood experiences as a refugee and prisoner of war come alive in discussions which stem from his notes about camp life, written at the time and preserved until they could achieve book form today. Here’s a fragment from the review: “It's the personal insights about these social and political reports, which often reached the world from the pens of outsiders, that make The Boy Refugee a standout in the literature surrounding events of this time period. The story nicely captures the feelings of those who lived through it… By including not only his own experiences but the adult discussions, perceptions, and concerns that swirled around him at the time, The Boy Refugee proves educational and enlightening on many levels… This examination of a civilian family's experiences as prisoners of war should be considered a 'must' for anyone who would understand the evolving nature of conflict and its impact on the social structure of Pakistan and Bangladesh.” Click here to read the full review.
