The Scarlet Sword by H. E. Bates (Curley Large Print Softcover),
By
This review is from: The Scarlet Sword (Curley Large Print Books) (Paperback)
Description from the book back cover:India paid an appalling price in blood and misery for partition in 1947. The Scarlet Sword tells what happened to one small community, but the scene it portrays must have been repeated numerous times elswhere in the sub-continent. When the battle between the Kashmiris, Pathans, and Afridis began, the Hindus as well as the British fled to the local Catholic Mission for refuge. But the mission soon became the focus of a campaign of murder, rape, and pillage and for ten horrifying days the refugees lived with violence and fear. Only the indomitable courage of Father Simpson kept them alive and sane. |
