Description
At midnight on 14 August 1947, an event took place that would change the world. That moment marked the dawn of Independence for India, the birth of Pakistan and the end of the British Raj - the last days of the greatest empire in history.
The seemingly impossible task of bringing about Independence fell on the shoulders of a remarkable man, Lord Louis Mountbatten. Faced with a group of hugely influential and charismatic men - Pandit Nehru, Mohammed Ali Jinnah and Mahatma Gandhi - he had to find a way to resolve irreconcilable differences and formulate a plan for Partition agreeable to all parties.
