A first-hand account of the transfer of power in the Indian subcontinent in 1947, when the author accompanied Viceroy Mountbatten as his 'Press Attache' and general communications advisor. The book brings out well the extraordinary pressures under which everybody was working to achieve an orderly transfer of power, and how the hurtling train of events forced them to advance the date of transfer from June 1948 to August 1947. The Mountbattens, and in general the British persona, come through with the usual aplomb and grace under fire of the British, whereas many of the Indian (including the future Pakistani) actors appear to be sometimes on the receiving end of their own past histories and the unavoidable contradictions between different factions in the subcontinent. An absorbing and mandatory book for anyone interested in the area. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
