Khan goes on to divide the rest of Bangladesh’s political history this way:

A Great Reset, Ziaur Rahman’s rule from January 1976 to May 1981;

Development and Deceit, Ershad’s rule from 1982 to 1990;

Return of parliamentary democracy, as Begum Khaleda Zia and Sheikh Hasina alternate terms from 1991 to 2007;

Army-backed caretaker government 2007 to December 2008;

Sheikh Hasina ruled from 2009 to the present.

Khan devotes his final chapter to suggestions to set Bangladesh on a proper path. They include restoring democracy and the rule of law, controlling corruption, restoring decency in all spheres of life, rebuilding Bangladeshi nationhood, rationalizing the public sector financial management system, and promoting “a vibrant market economy.
