This book offers an in-depth and critical examination of Sheikh Hasina's tenure as the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, a period marked by both economic growth and intense political controversy. Over her fifteen years in power, Hasina centralized authority, stifled political opposition, and presided over a regime frequently accused of human rights abuses, including enforced disappearances, suppression of free speech, and electoral manipulation.

Through meticulous research and analysis, the book explores the ways in which Hasina's leadership transformed Bangladesh's political landscape, often at the expense of democratic principles. The narrative delves into her complex relationships with powerful neighbors like India, her controversial economic policies, and the pervasive corruption that marred her administration. Furthermore, it documents the widespread protests and political turmoil that ultimately led to her resignation, offering a detailed account of her final days in power.

The book draws from a variety of sources, including government reports, legal documents, interviews, and personal accounts, ensuring that every claim is backed by credible evidence. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the legacy of Sheikh Hasina and poses critical questions about the future of democracy in Bangladesh.

This work is essential reading for those interested in South Asian politics, governance, and human rights, offering a stark reminder of the potential dangers of unchecked power in a democratic society.
