title: India's War: World War II and the Making of Modern South Asia
author:  Srinath Raghavan 
description: "[A]s Mr. Raghavan's fascinating account of the geopolitics of the war makes clear, there is more at stake in the history of India in World War II than 'rounding out' the story.... The history [Raghavan] writes is inspired by the search for a wider horizon for India as a regional superpower beyond the confining frame bequeathed by World War II and the ragged end of British Empire in Asia. It is all the more important and urgent for that."<b><i><b><i>Wall Street Journal</i></b></i></b><br /><br />"Raghavan usefully supplies the facts, in charts, figures, maps and details of military operations.... He also gives thorough, fascinating and revealing accounts of the economic transformations."<b><i><b><i>Economist</i></b></i></b><br /><br />"Raghavan's panoramic and richly detailed book deserves the accolades that it is receiving as the most comprehensive account of the subcontinent's experiences in the second world war. A historian at King's College London, Raghavan unearths much new detail and displays a masterful grasp of wartime diplomacy and economics."<b><i><b><i>Financial Times</i>'s summer books</b></i></b><br /><br />"A panoramic work, spanning the deliberations of the highest Allied councils of war to the febrile mood on the streets of Kolkata, formerly Calcutta, in the shadow of the Japanese advance.... Raghavan?s splendid history is a reminder not just of India's historic contribution to the defeat of fascism, but also its geopolitical potential throughout the Indo-Pacific."<b><i><b><i>Financial Times</i></b></i></b><br /><br />"A highly readable account of one of the more complex--and ignored--phase of World War II."<b><i><b><i>Washington Times</i></b></i></b><br /><br />
