History, When India became independent in 1947, the general view, which has prevailed until now, is that Britain had been steadily working for an amicable transfer of power for decades. In this book Walter Reid argues that nothing could be further from the truth. With reference to a vast amount of documentary material, from private letters to public records and state papers, he shows how Britain held back political progress in India for as long as possible – a policy which led to unimaginable chaos and suffering when independence was granted, and which created a legacy of hatred and distrust that continues to this day. eBook.

History, Sparks off ideas and arguments in all directions' John Hussey, author of Marlborough: The Hero of Blenheim 'A forceful and convincing critique of British hypocrisy which never lacks a cutting edge' Paul Addison, author of Churchill: The Unexpected Hero In 1947, when India achieved independence, Britain portrayed the transfer of power as the outcome of decades, even centuries, of responsible planning the honourable discharge of an historic responsibility. That view has never been seriously challenged in Britain. But this book shows that the official narrative is a travesty of what really happened. Drawing on the documentary evidence letters, diaries, state papers Walter Reid reveals how Britain selfishly deceived and prevaricated in order to arrest political progress in India for as long as possible a shameful passage in British imperial policy which led to tragedy and untold suffering when independence finally became inevitable. eBook.
