In November 1970, a storm barreled up the Bay of Bengal in Pakistan, the most densely populated coastline on Earth. In The Vortex: A True Story of History’s Deadliest Storm, an Unspeakable War, and Liberation, Scott Carney and Jason Miklian tell the dramatic story of how the storm and its aftermath sparked a liberation war in what is now Bangladesh. It’s a tale of political intrigue, corruption, violence, idealism, and bravery. Moderating is author Jack E. Davis.
