«Cette nuit la liberté» is the historical account by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins, published by Librairie générale française in paperback.
This work reconstructs the final months of British rule in India: independence on 14 August 1947 gives way to two nations, India and Pakistan, amid riots and displacements; the narrative follows Gandhi, Lord Mountbatten, Nehru and Jinnah and culminates in the Mahatma's assassination.
The work was originally published in English as 'Freedom at Midnight' (1975). The cover bears the subtitle 'Le triomphe et la tragédie de Gandhi'.
For readers interested in the history of India and Pakistan, decolonisation and the figure of Gandhi.
Dominique Lapierre was a French author.
