When a letter from an Indian historian arrives out of the blue and informs academic Bart Moore-Gilbert that his deceased father, a May member of the Indian Police before Independence, partook in the abuse of civilians his world is shaken as his cherished childhood memories are challenged. He sets out in search of the truth -- discovering much about the end of empire, the state of India today, and whether his father, as one of the many characters on his quest claims, really was a terrorist. Crisscrossing western India, and following leads from bustling Mumbai to remote rural scenes, he pieces together the truth, discovering that the same story links the past with the present, colonial India with its modern incarnation, terrorism through the ages and father with son"--Provided by publisher.
