This is history from a completely different perspective. Through recounting India's reaction to, and action in, WWII, the author suggests these have been fundamental to the development of the modern Indian economy. He helps us to understand the tensions that led to the end of colonial rule throughout South Asia and concludes by proposing that a democratic India should revert to its former role as a pivot of security in Asia and the Middle East.
