"A beautifully written, deeply intelligent book about a] crucial moment." -- Fareed Zakaria, CNN

Nobody expected the liberation of India and birth of Pakistan to be so violent--it was supposed to be an answer to the dreams of Muslims and Hindus who had been ruled by the British for more than a century. But as the summer of 1947 approached, Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs were heavily armed and on edge after a year of riots and gang fighting, and the British rushed to leave. Hell broke loose. Trains carried Muslims west and Hindus east to their slaughter. Some of the most brutal and widespread ethnic cleansing in modern history erupted on both sides of the new border, searing a divide between India and Pakistan that remains a root cause of many of today's most menacing security threats, from jihadi terrorism to nuclear proliferation. Based on major new sources, Nisid Hajari's revelatory Midnight's Furies lays out the searing truth about one of the world's most momentous and least understood tragedies.

"Fast-moving and highly readable . . . The story of what happens when a composite society comes apart." -- New York Times Book Review

"Makes the complex and tragic story of the great divide into a page-turner." -- Guardian

"Engaging and incisive . . . Hajari writes with grace, precision, and an unerring eye for detail. Midnight's Furies is the best of recent offerings." -- Wall Street Journal

I love this milk frother, a must have for coffee lovers!
Color: Silver
I absolutely love this Bonsenkitchen milk frother! It creates the perfect foam in seconds and my coffee has never tasted so good. The rechargeable feature is so convenient and I love that it comes with a stand to keep it organized on my counter. It is easy to use, easy to clean and works perfectly every single time. If you love coffee at home this frother is a game changer, it makes you feel like you are at a coffee shop without spending a fortune. Highly recommend!

Does the job!
Color: Silver
Great frother. Love that it's rechargeable. 3 speeds, double frothing ring. This one is way better than my last, battery operated one. A lot of people giving are negative reviews or deductin stars because they think you have to cycle through the speeds to turn it off - they're wrong. You just hold the button for a couple of seconds and it turns off. Highly recommend!

Stand was my favorite part, hated how close off and higher speed is
Color: Silver
Well the first lesson is dont hit the power button to turn off, as it goes to 2nd speed and slings your drink everywhere. Im not happy with the stability of the brother, had better, as free with coffees. Positive is, it has a stand, it does have 3 speeds, just never needed the other two speeds, and if you dont hold power button long enough to turn off, it goes into higher speed.
