Praise for Let My Country Awake
Thanks, Julie!
Scott Miller’s LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE is an audacious work of history which explores a now mostly forgotten effort by a group of freedom fighters based out of UC Berkeley to liberate India from colonial rule. Spanning multiple continents, the story ignites with gun-smuggling, espionage, an explosive courtroom shootout -- complicating our understanding of the fallout to the colonial world order from World War I. This original and well-researched work is a powerful reminder that today’s immigration battles in the U.S. have long and tangled roots. LET MY COUNTRY AWAKE makes a profound contribution to our understanding of the early 20th century.

"Scott Miller tells a compelling and little-known story about India's freedom struggle―one involving a brave band of students and workers in America. This is a fascinating prism through which we see the wartime machinations of Germany, Britain, and the United States―and it all comes together in a made-for-Hollywood trial." ―Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN's GPS and author of Age of Revolutions
