About the Book

Freedom at Midnight by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre is a landmark historical work that vividly recounts the dramatic events surrounding India’s independence in 1947. The book provides a gripping and detailed narrative of the final days of British rule, the partition of India and Pakistan, and the political and human consequences of this historic transition.

Based on extensive research and firsthand accounts, the authors bring to life key figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, Lord Mountbatten, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The book captures the intense political negotiations, emotional upheaval, and tragic violence that accompanied the birth of two nations.
