Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.

Book News Annotation:

**** Reprint of the 1975 edition which is cited in BCL3 as part of the Raj Quartet.
