The author, first-born son of his father, belonged to Muslim majority inhabitants of pre-British India's Bengal province-who had no instance of modern education in their peasant community of the early 20th century-grew up with his father. The author, after obtaining his higher education in his native country of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh), came to USA and obtained his M. A. and Ph. D. degrees. He then spent much of his life in doing research and evaluation on various issues, such as high fertility, high infant mortality, poverty, rapid population growth, and public provision of some basic services, both in inner-city black America and in several developing countries of Asia and West Africa while working for two universities in USA-Morgan State University and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Marland. Life and Legacy of An Amazing Father describes a series of heart-comforting and heart-breaking stories-with which both the author's father and the author himself were grappling with in attaining their success in life as well as building up successful families, raising resilient children, inspiring, and enabling them to attain their educational, occupational, and other successes in life.
From his experience of growing up with his father and, subsequently, helping his own younger siblings and children to succeed in life, the author describes how the adherence to some basic principles, rules, habits, and values of life made difference in his father's life, his life, and the lives of his siblings and children. Lessons from these stories are discussed in the book.
