The partition of India was one of the most cataclysmic events in modern history; the transfer of power to India and Pakistan in August 1947 was the first major act of decolonization by the British, with significant consequences for their international status. In this book the author shows, with a wealth of documentary detail, that although consideration of the long-term strategic interests of the British counselled them against partition, it was their short term tactics that prevailed. Readership:students and scholars of Indian, Pakistani and British history, and of nationalism and decolonization.
