Story:

For all those who have forgotten the minute details of the war against independence, the transition of the partition phase, here is a book that satiates your thirst for history of that era.Lappiere has done etensive research to make the book thoroughly enjoyable.Majority of the book is through the eys of lois Mountbatten.


We perhaps know the Black and the white side of Gandhi but here he is shown in its grey shades also.The trauma of seeing his ideals evaporate the moment the freedom for which at times he single handedly fought.For many leaders identifying with poor is Photo ops and Vote bank investment but here Gandhi really tries to give his sweat, blood and tears for the downtrodden.


The book also reveals the silly mistakes our fathers did and the hast of partition that left millions of familis in ruins and whose wounds still cannot be healed.At the present phase in Pakistan's history this book tells us where the foundations went wrong for a country that could have been jewel.


Every character makes an appearance like a mega star movie with a definite role to paly.The radcliffe, Pahwa, narayan apte, hari singh.people who transformed our history.read the book also to know about these characters also.a great book for a train journey
