Ms. Anand has done extensive research into the lives of all the principal characters- Sir Michael O'Dwyer, Brigadier General Reginald Dyer and Sardar Udham Singh. She brings the demeaning suffering inflicted on the people of Punjab Province by the British into stark and painful relief. And she knows how to weave her research into a gripping story with superlative skill. This is essential reading for all who want to understand what living under the British Raj was like for the Indians.
