It is excellent.
The same guys wrote Is Paris Burning? about the liberation of Paris in WW2.
Both big best sellers in their day.

by Larry Collins and Dominique LaPierre. It reads like a best-selling novel, but it's historical fact.

corpses arriving from the slaughter in the transition zones.
I think there is a movie about it called "The Mountbatten Plan" or something. It is based on a book.
