Reviews

This excellent book by Roy (Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India) explores the painful memories of Britain's bloody partition of India on August 15, 1947. Based on extensive research and countless oral histories of many of the survivors, the author recounts the tragic events that took place, including rapes, killings, looting, and widespread violence. This well-written and richly sourced text is an important contribution to the literature and is highly recommended for all South Asian and Indian history collections at academic and research libraries. - R. N. Sharma, emeritus, Monmouth University, CHOICE, January 2020 Vol. 57 No. 5
