Journey through the traumatic birth of India and Pakistan with veteran correspondent Alexandra Reeves as she examines the 1947 Partition and the First Kashmir War. This compelling narrative explores how hastily drawn borders led to one of history's largest mass migrations, followed by a complex conflict over Kashmir that established patterns of hostility persisting to this day. Reeves masterfully weaves together the political maneuverings, military engagements, and human suffering that transformed a remote princely state into one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints.
