Wavell was Viceroy (1943 - 47) immediately before Mountbatten.,Thus a major part of this book provides useful and instructive background on events relating to Independence and Partion leading up to the Mountbatten viceroyalty (some parts deal with the Burmese front, famine and so on, thus adding zest and immediacy to the context in which Wavell worked and made decisions)
