Midnight's Furies: The Deadly Legacy of India's Partition
by Nisid Hajari
*4.5*
I normally don't rate historical non-fic, but I've decided to do so on approachability and accessibility to the topic. I do believe that people who enjoy non-fic would find this book gripping, it's an absolute page turner and I think people who major in history and other areas can approach this book alike.
This book focuses on the partition of India and Pakistan and between their two leaders Nehru and Jinnah. It also focuses on the tensions between Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims; the wars between the vying religious areas; and the people affected by the partition.
I found this book to be entertaining, while learning about a subject I'm less familiar with. This book does use more secondary sources than primary sources, so that is something to consider when taking in the info this book provides.
