Description

Brossura illustrata, formato cm. 18 x 11 e pagine 719. IN INGLESE. After exploiting India’s divisions for years, the British depart in such haste that no one is prepared for the Hindu-Muslim riots of 1947. The twilight of the raj turns bloody. Against the backdrop of the violent partition of India and Pakistan, A Division of the Spoils illuminates one last bittersweet romance, revealing the divided loyalties of the British as they flee, retreat from, or cling to India. Buone condizioni. C69
