informative
slow-paced
4.5
Fascinating history book covering the British empire’s banal bureaucracy and overt terror through the microcosm of one famous Sikh royal family. It takes a while to get there but the description of suffragette tactics in Britain was in depth and much more violent than generally taught. Gratifying to learn more about the history of the Punjab too.
