«Esta noche, la libertad» is the historical chronicle by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins, published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (544 pages, in Spanish).
The work reconstructs the last year of the British Raj, from the commission to Lord Mountbatten to prepare England's withdrawal in January 1947 to Gandhi's death in 1948. In that time India and Pakistan are born, the partition provokes riots and the greatest exodus in the region's history, and figures such as Nehru, Jinnah and Gandhi himself pass through.
It belongs to the Jet collection of Plaza & Janés, number 135 in the series. It was originally published in English as Freedom at Midnight in 1975.
For readers of contemporary history, with an interest in the decolonisation of India, the end of the British Empire and its protagonists.
Dominique Lapierre was a French author.
