At midnight on 14th August 1947, an event took place that would change the world. That moment marked the dawn of Independence for India, the birth of Pakistan and the end of the British Raj—the last days of the greatest empire in history. The circumstances surrounding that epoch-making event: the conflicts, the intrigues, the pomp, the ceremony, are the theme of Mountbatten, The Last Viceroy. Through the force of his remarkable personality, and despite the conflict and intrigues, Lord Mountbatten altered the course of history, leaving a legacy that continues to this day.
