Summary: This is the story of a missed opportunity. In his sequel to The Crisis of Indian Unity, 1917-1940 (1974) Professor Moore argues that Sir Stafford Cripps's mission to India in 1942 could, if successful, have prevented the ultimate partition of India. Indian participation in a power-sharing executive would have led to co-operation between Hindus and Muslims. The failure of the mission can be attributed to the baleful influence of Churchill, acting in support of the overcautious and often stubborn Viceroy, Lord Linlithgow.
