An irreverent view of India with many of its foibles exposed "with massive impartiality" as Robert Trumbull, former Times Bureau Chief in India, states in his NY Times Book Magazine review of April 20, 1958 entitled, "India With Her Make-up Off". Trumbull was Times correspondent in India from 1947 to 1955. The book is arranged by places with descriptive sub-titles, e.g., Lucknow: The Murderous Politicians; Nagpur: Christ vs Ganesh; Madras: Marx at the Fair; and Kashmir: Men in Fur Hats. East and West Pakistan are also included. Alexander Campbell (1912- ) was Time and Life correspondent in India when he wrote this very perceptive behind-the-scenes view of India, 'warts and all'..
