The political events that took place during Lord Wavells
Viceroyalty in India set the stage for all that transpired during
the Mountbatten era. Wavell was in favour of implementing the
Breakdown Plan so the British government could fall back upon a
well thought-out course of action when it inevitably departed from
India. On the other hand, Wavells assessment of Indias
fast-evolving political scenario began to cast a sobering light on
the global dilemma of the British, for whom relinquishing control
over India meant facing global contraction. This book analyses the
complex undercurrents of Lord Wavells Viceroyalty, a subject not
been previously touched upon in comparable depth. It covers nearly
all the major events of the Indian political scene during the
period of the Second World War and immediately after, when the
British grip on India was loosening fast and their departure from
India was simply a matter of timing. This second edition comprises
a new chapter on Wavells Breakdown Plan to emphasize its ample
significance in the partition of India and the creation of Pakistan
and its aftermath.
