As the Battle of Britain rages, twenty-four Indian pilots board a troopship bound for England. They are Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Parsi, and Christian - colonial subjects volunteering to defend an empire that has not yet agreed to grant their country its freedom. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTrained on Tiger Moths in the Scottish rain, blooded in Hurricanes over the English Channel, they will know brotherhood, prejudice, and devastating loss. Twelve of the twenty-four will not survive. Those who do will return to an India on the verge of Partition - the shattering of the very unity their squadron embodied. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on the true story of twenty-four Indian pilots who flew for the RAF in World War II, The Twenty Four is a sweeping novel about men who flew above the borders that would define their century - and an elegy for the India that made them brothers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTwo and a half million Indians served in the Allied forces during the Second World War. Their stories have never been told. Until now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rajat K.
