Review of 'INDIAN SUMMER: THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE END OF AN EMPIRE.' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A very thorough behind-the-scenes history of the independence of India and Pakistan told from the perspective of an author determined to delve into the complex personalities involved. Far from a dry history book, we explore the unlikely relationships that resulted from goals shared and at cross-purposes with one another. Alex von Tunzelmann's work is impeccably sourced, but also strives to entertain, adding the occasional wry commentary throughout.
