I read the Kindle version and there is a large number of typos. The kind of things spell check can't see. Wrong words and misplaced periods the most common.Second, and keep in mind this is a look at history, it gets very depressing. It's very clear reading through the break up of India that it went poorly. So many lost lives.The book details the events leading up to the freedom of India and the creation of Pakistan. Being in America and reading about events that happened before I was born in a foreign land it was sad to see how badly damaged India became during the celebration of freedom. Neighbors became enemies over night.I believe this book portrays Gandhi and Montblanc in a positive light. That said there were time I was impressed with Gandhi but for the most part he had me shaking my head. The authors were able to interweave stories outside of the principles that helped give weight to how the splitting of a nation affected the common citizen.It's value for showing a piece of history make this a worthwhile read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A classic ! *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 4, 2021* Collins and Lapierre's "Freedom At Midnight" is the classic history of the 1947 Partition of India into India and Pakistan, the plight of its refugees, the plotting of, and the fact of Gandhi's 1948 assassination. The storyline is chronological, non judgmental, heroic in parts, bordering as fictive; the descriptive detail can exhaust. To deny its accuracy makes little sense as the history is so compelling, engraved, and sad. Their sources are clearly based on the Mountbatten archives, so any criticism of the monumental decision making on the geographical lines for the Partition is muted. The Kindle format can be trying at times; photographs are few and there is only one map. Online searches can bring up most of the famous images and maps of this historic event. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating, and gut-wrenching chronicle of a birth of two nations *by O***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 30, 2017* This book is a fascinating and deeply moving account of one of the seminal events in world history, the emergence of India and Pakistan as sovereign nations. Collins and LaPierre, in their infinitely researched, nuanced account of the independence of the Indian subcontinent, relate their story in prose that approaches the lyrical rhythm of poetry. Some may take issue with the point of view of the account, insisting that it is written primarily from the British line of sight, but regardless of any bias, it so beautifully and successfully relates the stories of those in the highest seats of power and the impact of their often wrenching decisions on the common person.I have always held that in order for history to teach us, it must be delivered in a form that seduces us into understanding it. By developing the characters whom most of us already know - Gandhi, Nehru, Mountbatten, Jinnah, Churchill - we find ourselves in the venues of the account as quiet observers as the die is cast to deliver India to its destiny. The book underscores the power of language, with excerpts from the inimitable speeches delivered extemporaneously by Nehru, in quick succession, upon the birth of the nation, and ultimately the death of its father.It is also a cautionary tale for the present, by showing so clearly how false distinctions between people, riven by such things as religion, wealth, and power, can so readily cause diverse communities living in harmony for centuries to shatter the peacefulness of their coexistence and turn on each other in abhorrent communal violence at a moment's notice, leaving us stunned and questioning our humanity. Perhaps this understanding can encourage us not to repeat this insanity.A marvelous book - highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/80066980-freedom-at-midnight-paperback-unabridged-january-1-2006](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/80066980-freedom-at-midnight-paperback-unabridged-january-1-2006) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
