Why India is on my mind. My reading of the two parts of Churchill's biography left me without WWII and India. Gandhi & Churchill filled in one part of the missing link. The author isn't crazy about either man. I can understand. They weren't the spotless heroes they seem to be. I enjoyed reading the history of the countries. And getting a different perspective on what England did to/for India was interesting. I wouldn't, however, recommend this to anyone who isn't going to read a lot of other opinions. One thing is known for sure, England never left a country in good shape. That is paraphrasing Karen, but she is so right. No wonder Churchill wanted to keep the Empire together. They could sweep their issues under the rug better.
