Freedom at Midnight: Inspiration for the major motion picture Viceroy’s House

Freedom at Midnight: Inspiration for the major motion picture Viceroy’s House by Larry Collins, Dominique Lapierre
English | February 23, 2017 | ISBN: 0008247781 | EPUB | 656 pages | 1.2 MB

Inspiration for the major film starring Hugh Bonneville, Gillian Anderson, Manish Dayal and Huma Qureshi and directed by Gurinder Chadha.

Seventy years ago, at midnight on 14 August 1947, the Union Jack began its final journey down the flagstaff of Viceroy’s House, New Delhi. A fifth of humanity claimed their independence from the greatest empire history has ever seen – but the price of freedom was high, as a nation erupted into riots and bloodshed, partition and war.

This is an electrifying and acclaimed account of the dying days of the British Raj and the drama played out between Lord Mountbatten, Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru and Jinnah, as an empire undertook a violent transformation into the new India and Pakistan.
