The British of the 1940's


Lately, I've had a resurgence of interest in this topic. A few semesters ago, I took a class called Understanding World Culture, in which we looked at the British occupation of India. We watched the movie A Passage to India, which I liked very much. I'd seen the movie Ghandi before that. I recently finished watching the series The Jewel in the Crown and now, I'm watching The Flame Trees of Thika. Also, my friend Heather, picking up on this interest, sent me a copy of a book called West with the Night, which is very well-written and interesting.
