  Presents a study of the 1947 drawing of the Indo-Pakistani boundary in Punjab. This book highlights British efforts to maintain a grip on India even as the decolonization process spun out of control. It demonstrates that it was not the location of the line but flaws in the larger partition process that caused the mass violence and chaos of 1947.
