| |  | | | In Brief
At midnight on August 14, 1947, Britains 350-year-old Indian Empire was cracked into pieces. As the greatest mass migration in history began, Muslims fled north and Hindus fled south, with nearly a million massacred along the way. Britains role as a world power came to an end, and the course of Asias future was irrevocably set. Liberty or Death offers a bold reinterpretation of the last years of British rule in India, including the disastrous mistakes and bizarre reasoning of many of the politicians. Exploring the interplay between opposing characters, including Churchill, Nehru, Mountbatten, and Gandhi, French offers a riveting account of an epic debacle, the impact of which reverberates across South Asia to this day. Patrick French is the author of the award-winning Younghusband.
