A path-breaking account of Partition, The Punjab chronicles how East and West Punjab were emptied of unwanted minorities in 1947. This volume accesses secret British reports to shed new light on events and narrates poignant accounts by eyewitnesses, survivors-even participants-of the carnage from both sides of the border. These exclusive narratives present the events of Partition through the eyes of those who were a part of it and the effect it had-and still has-on their lives.
