Not many of us know that the partition of India had to do less with religion and more with politics. Shows the true colors of British administration and internationally celebrated heroes like Churchill. A very good read indeed.

This books gives you an insight of the events that led to India's partition beyond the tradtional prism of Congress and Muslim League. It makes British a party to partition which many authors tend to overlook.

A decent book, giving a different perspective on the Indian subcontinental partition, not from the Indian or Pakistani point of view
The narrative style is almost RamGuha-esque

It gives an insight into the thinking of the upper crust of the British political and military class, on the happenings of the subcontinent in the decade of 1940s leading upto the partition and for a few years beyond. It gives their opinions and how their opinions pro-actively shaped what things happened on the ground...
