One evening in June, 1976: Cyril John Radcliffe, 1st Viscount Radcliffe, sat in his garden under the yellow magnolia reminiscing. He’d had a good life. Except for that spot of bother in 1947. It was July when he set foot in a strange land — this Jewel in the Crown. The heat had been unbearable. So far removed from England’s summer sun.
