| Sommario/riassunto: | Focusing on the last half decade of the British in India, this book argues that the hasty departure of the British from the subcontinent laid the groundwork for the continuing violence between India and Pakistan. It tells about events that have been turning points in the history of India, Pakistan, and Britain. |
