From the dj: "Britain's precipitous and ill-planned disengagement from India in 1947--condemned as a 'shameful flight' by Winston Churchill--had a truly catastrophic effect on South Asia, leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead in its wake and creating a legacy of chaos, hatred, and war that has lasted over half a century. . .Stanley Wolpert, a leading authority on Indian history, paints memorable portraits of all the key participants, including Gandhi, Churchill, Attlee, Nehru, and Jinnah, with special focus on British viceroy Lord Louis Montbatten." Illustrated with b&w photographic plates. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 238 pp.
