Reviews

Exceptional...balances analysis, history and human compassion in a narrative that leaves one shaken
*Daily Telegraph*

Almost impossible to put down
*New Statesman*

The Second World War is one of the most written-about episodes in all world history: every month sees a dozen new titles published. Yet, astonishingly, The Raj at War breaks new ground on almost every page
*Spectator*

A striking example of people’s history, packed with anecdotes, memories and information about a shared but largely unwritten global past
*Guardian*

Unprecedented in scope...rich both in detail and in its unique insights... Khan's history has paved the way for a more complex understanding of the Second World War as India's War
*Indian Express*

A fascinating, vividly written history full of surprises, some of them shocking
*The Times*

Yasmin Khan...offers a richly researched social history of wartime India that is peppered with fascinating detail
*The Economist*

Remarkable Account… Compassionate, judicious and brilliantly readable, this is a compelling account of a dramatic, but little examined, aspect of history
*Daily Mail*

This fascinating book tells the story of World War Two's impact on India: the shattering of the ordered relations which underpinned the Raj making its end inevitable. It's also a much needed reminder of India's contribution to that war
