Shattered Lands
Five Partitions and the Making of Modern AsiaA Best Book of 2025 for the Financial Times, The Week, Spectator, BBC History Magazine, NPR, History Today, Waterstones and Daunts ‘A sparkling debut by an outstanding young historian’ PETER FRANKOPAN 'Remarkable … the prose is vivid, the storytelling cinematic, and Dalrymple draws together forgotten archives from Aden to Assam. Above all, there is a refusal to mythologise, and instead a clear-eyed history that lays bare the possibilities foreclosed by the region’s fragmentation' GUARDIAN ‘This book is a revelation. Sam Dalrymple’s charting of these five moments is both original and important, adding a valuable layer to our understanding of a vast region of the world’ MISHAL HUSAIN 'Excellent … expertly examines the way the Indian empire was divided into 12 separate nation states between 1931 and 1971 … packed with riveting detail' INDEPENDENT 'Ambitious… an impressive debut… He brings to his material an unmoralistic, but not amoral, even-handedness. He is clear-eyed in his judgment of administrative folly and doesn’t hold back when the archives throw up yet another pith-helmeted buffoon from central casting to decry for his misjudgments' THE TIMES 'Shattered Lands has a huge range, and the material is deftly handled …Dalrymple delivers his account at pace and with a keen eye for the telling detail … A book that combines scholarship with a flair for narrative story-telling of the highest order' SPECTATOR ‘This richly researched, vividly written book tells the story of how a colossal and powerful Empire was broken up into many distinct nation-states…An impressive debut by a gifted and very energetic young writer’ RAMACHANDRA GUHA
