This was a fascinating look at the end of the Raj and one disillusioned Punjabi man's quest to assassinate the British leader of Punjab, Michael O'Dwyer. O'Dwyer presided over a massacre I'd never heard of, the Jallianwala Bagh. This reads like a thriller, it's very well paced. It has a very pro India bent, so due to the topic will find yourself sympathizing with the machinations of an assassin. However, O'Dwyer was presiding over a hate crime with absolutely zero shred of remorse, so pick your more palatable atrocity?

I wanted to learn more about every aspect of of this book.
