"An acclaimed journalist gives us the one thing he can: an illuminating history." -- Daily Beast"Historically grounded, informative." -- Publishers Weekly"A lively read. . . . Among many recent books on Pakistan, Mr. Akbar's stands out . . . it is a fine and detailed history of Indian Muslim anger and insecurity, spawned by the 18th-century decline of the Mughals, and the way this played out in the freedom struggle." -- The Economist"Akbar's elegant, probing work exhibits a sympathetic insider's understanding of the complex, evolving relationship between Muslims and Hindus in the area. . . . Presents a thoughtful historical perspective, rich in detail, research and gloom." -- Kirkus Reviews
