Freedom at midnight

This enchanting title is actually the title of a very exciting book I finished a few weeks ago. And this week I couldn't help think about this book again with the passing of Nelson Mandela.

You can buy Freedom at midnight here, kindle, audio.... whatever the version you want.

This book was written in 1975 by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre, it is a sort of India partition for dummies.... If I can say that...

I loved it, was great. Another vision for us european people of Gandhi, Nerhu, Jinah, Moundbatten...

It is amazing to realize that this event happened in 6 months or so, how ? How was born the world largest democracy ?
A great book, I advise you to offer to your "bookworm"  friends...



One tip though, for half of the book I wondered when east Pakistan became Bangladesh. It happened in 1971
