First sentence: By the early 1940s the cosy, special relationship between the British crown and the Indian princes which forms the subject of this book had become so much a fact of political life in Delhi and Whitehall that people like Leo Amery, secretary of state in Churchill's wartime coalition government, could speak about it as if it had always existed.
