"'A lucid narrative of the key twists and turns in the trajectory of Bengal politics' (Sugata Bose, Indian Express) 'A fascinating story of the interplay of communal forces (aided of course by some hard-boiled, pragmatic and occasionally opportunistic politicians) that triumphs over the statesmanship of some leaders and the romantic yearning of a united Bengal that most Bengalis cherish even now' (Business Standard)"
