A powerful reassessment of a seminal moment in the history of India and the British Empire―the Amritsar Massacre―to mark its 100th anniversary
The Amritsar Massacre of 1919 was a seminal moment in the history of the British Empire, yet it remains poorly understood. In this dramatic account, Kim A. Wagner details the perspectives of ordinary people and argues that General Dyer’s order to open fire at Jallianwalla Bagh was an act of fear. Situating the massacre within the "deep" context of British colonial mentality and the local dynamics of Indian nationalism, Wagner provides a genuinely nuanced approach to the bloody history of the British Empire.

Thank you
My happiness can't be expressed in words. I am beginning to listen audiobooks now-a-days. But can't afford amount for it since I m a student. You are a great savior to me.
I will keep seeding the torrent so that others like me can also listen and again Humpty thanks for your regularity in uploading books everyday, each from best of best.
