“This is a work of reinterpretation of Mountbatten’s role in the emergence of Pakistan. It moves beyond previous controversies concerning his impact on the Radcliffe Boundary Award and bias towards Nehru and the Congress to delve into his interactions with developments at the provincial level in the future Pakistan area. The insight emerges that Mountbatten’s interventions were far more complex than negative stereotypes of his Viceroyalty have acknowledged. The investigation draws on a careful reading of primary sources as well as building on the author’s earlier research into the end of British India. The judgements which emerge are balanced and form an important addition to the understanding of Pakistan’s independence.”
