Intriguing Book
It is a wholesome book covering the colonial past of India in a very comprehensive way...Worth a read...It is gripping and written in a very lucid and witty manner...It has successfully been able to depict the complex political scenario with the Mountbattens, Nehru, Gandhi and Jinnah...

Good
Got the book in great condition. Been nreading it. It's written frommthe British perspective and a book of things as seen by the British history writers. Most of the sources are cited and are either newspapers from that time or goverment documents.

the truth
a quality book which shreds a lot of light on India, how it was divided. the attitude of different leaders and above all the relationship between Nehru and Edwina. i would suggest it to all who want to know about india and from this book we can also conclude that we were destined to be a underpower because of jawarhar lal nehru.

Super!
What I learnt from this book is that partition of India in 1947 was inevitable (none is to blame alone) and your network with people is much more important than even your popularity among the mass. Finally. thumbs up for the writer, she has done extensive research in writing this piece-a remarkable work altogether!

a monumental work
I am not a reviewer type. But I am impulsively forced to write. Only to say that if I had a chance to read this book at the time I was in school my academic inclination might have been influenced to history. This is how history is to be presented. All my praises to Ms. Von Tunzelmann. I do eagerly wait for her next book.

Awesome
The book presents a gripping narrative of events during the days of independence. What is remarkable is the portrayal of the characters of Mountbatten, Lady Mountbatten, Nehru, Gandhi and Jinnah.
