India was not alone in its fight against British imperialism and colonialism. In the total context of India`s freedom struggle, the moral, political and material support of many other countries such as China, Japan, Burma, France, Germany, the Soviet Union et al, can also not be ruled out. Above all, it was the United States of America that extended generous support to India`s freedom movement. While the Administration`s policy followed a roller-coaster track, the American Congress, public and the media rendered liberal assistance. During the course of his numerous visits to San Francisco over the years, the author discovered it an important support base for India`s freedom struggle. Its neighboring centres of academic excellence, universities of Stanford and Berkeley, proved irresistible sources of inspiration for his work. Numerous sources spread over a couple of centuries, have been consulted for What America Did For India`s Independence. While there are many books on the subject, this book is unique in that it integrates the Indian political point of view of events, and their impact on the international scene.
