Almost a day to day report of the Punjab through 1947 it restores the human dimension to a story that was essentially one of acute human misery. Based mainly on 15 regional and national newspapers it closely examines the Punjab and its partition through letters opinion columns editorials classifieds and photographs equal emphasis is also laid on hitherto unused and unpublished sources these include personal diaries letters memoirs and notes recorded by observant contemporaries including civil police and military field officers culled from centres in India and the United Kingdom.

It is essential reading for those with interest in Punjab both east and west and colonial Indian history. 622 pp. …
