520    The dramatic true story of a celebrated young survivor of 
       a 1919 British massacre in India, and his ferocious twenty
       -year campaign of revenge that made him a hero to hundreds
       of millions-and spawned a classic legend. When Sir Michael
       O'Dwyer, the Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, ordered 
       Brigadier General Reginald Dyer to Amritsar, he wanted 
       Dyer to bring the troublesome city to heel. Sir Michael 
       had become increasingly alarmed at the effect Gandhi was 
       having on his province, as well as recent demonstrations, 
       strikes, and shows of Hindu-Muslim unity. All these things,
       to Sir Michael, were a precursor to a second Indian 
       revolt. What happened next shocked the world. An 
       unauthorized gathering in the Jallianwallah Bagh in 
       Amritsar in April 1919 became the focal point for Sir 
       Michael's law enforcers. Dyer marched his soldiers into 
       the walled garden, blocking the only exit. Then, without 
       issuing any order to disperse, he instructed his men to 
       open fire, turning their guns on the thickest parts of the
       crowd, filled with over a thousand unarmed men, women, and
       children. For ten minutes, the soldiers continued firing, 
       stopping only when they ran out of ammunition.   According
       to legend, eighteen-year-old Sikh orphan Udham Singh was 
       injured in the attack, and remained surrounded by the dead
       and dying until he was able to move the next morning. Then,
       he supposedly picked up a handful of blood-soaked earth, 
       smeared it across his forehead, and vowed to kill the men 
       responsible.   The truth, as the author has discovered, is
       more complex-but no less dramatic. Award-winning 
       journalist Anita Anand traced Singh's journey through 
       Africa, the United States, and across Europe until, in 
       March 1940, he finally arrived in front of O'Dwyer himself
       in a London hall ready to shoot him down. The Patient 
       Assassin shines a devastating light on one of history's 
       most horrific events, but it reads like a taut thriller 
       and reveals the incredible but true story behind a legend 
       that still endures today.
