The Raj Quartet, Volume 4: A Division of Spoils -- Paul Scott

After exploiting India's divisions for years, the British depart in such haste that no one is prepared for the Hindu-Muslim riots of 1947. The twilight of the raj turns bloody. Against the backdrop of the violent partition of India and Pakistan, A Division of the Spoils illuminates one last bittersweet romance, revealing the divided loyalties of the British as they flee, retreat from, or cling to India. <br><br><br><b>Author:</b> Paul Scott<br><b>Publisher:</b> University of Chicago Press<br><b>Published:</b> 05/22/1998<br><b>Pages:</b> 608<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.60lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.46h x 5.66w x 1.72d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780226743448<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Paul Scott</b> (1920-78), born in London, held a commission in the Indian army during World War II.
