An extraordinary story of romance, history, and divided loyalties -- set against the backdrop of one of the most dramatic events of the twentieth century
The stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, liberated 400 million people from the British Empire. With the loss of India, its greatest colony, Britain ceased to be a superpower, and its king ceased to sign himself Rex Imperator. This defining moment of world history had been brought about by a handful of people. Among them were Jawaharlal Nehru, the fiery Indian prime minister; Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the leader of the new Islamic Republic of Pakistan; Mohandas Gandhi, the mystical figure who enthralled a nation; and Louis and Edwina Mountbatten, the glamorous but unlikely couple who had been dispatched to get Britain out of India. Within hours of the midnight chimes, their dreams of freedom and democracy would turn to chaos, bloodshed, and war. Behind the scenes, a secret personal drama was also unfolding, as Edwina Mountbatten and Jawaharlal Nehru began a passionate love affair. Their romance developed alongside Cold War conspiracies, the beginning of a terrible conflict in Kashmir, and an epic sweep of events that saw one million people killed and ten million dispossessed. Steeped in the private papers and reflections of the participants, Alex von Tunzelmann's Indian Summer reveals, in vivid, exhilarating detail, how the actions of a few extraordinary people changed the lives of millions and determined the fate of nations.Binding Type: Paperback

Incredible for it’s size
Color: Black
This charger has become my go-to. It has no issues charging (not just powering) my MacBook while I’m using it, it fast charges my phone better than any other power brick I’ve owned, and the screen makes me smile every time I plug it in. The little bouncing blob just gives me a chuckle. It’s small, it’s light, the prongs can be positioned so that it comes out straight from the wall, or you can position them so the wire leaves the wall at a 90° angle like I did, ideal for the space between a bed or dresser and the outlet. Wonderful device.

Awesome for travel
Color: Black
The Anker Smart Display Charger is another awesome idea from Anker. The built-in display is a great feature because it lets you see charging information clearly instead of guessing what is happening. It makes the charger feel more modern, useful, and premium compared to a regular wall charger.
The design is compact and convenient, making it easy to use at home, at work, or while traveling. I also like that it comes from Anker, a brand known for reliable charging products, cables, and portable power accessories. The charger feels practical, well-made, and easy to trust with everyday devices.
Overall, this is a smart and creative charging product. The display is not just a gimmick; it actually adds value and makes charging easier to understand. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants a dependable charger with a useful modern feature.
