- This monograph presents an original study of colonial administration in the twilight of British India. Through meticulous archive research into private writings and public communications, it uses the behaviour of Andrew Clow, one of the most influential politicians of the time, to develop original arguments around the behaviour of colonial administrators. It covers four specific moments in depth 1) the introduction of a public radio network in India (1920-1940). 2) The war against the Japanese in Burma and along India's eastern borders. 3) The Bengal Famine (1942–1944) and Britain’s role in it. 4) Clow's involvement in partition.
