Indian Summer: The Secret History of the End of an Empire
by Alex Von Tunzelmann
Flirting with democracy (7/30/2008)
A nice, light history of India and its struggle for independence as well as the rather strange personality of "Disaster Dick" Mountbatten. Edwina's relationship with Nehru is over played. A little bit would have been good, but page after page is like driving home a nail with a sledge hammer. Easy to read.
