Hugh Johnston provided the first thoroughly researched study of the Komagata Maru event, basing his analysis on official accounts from both Canadian and Indian sources, as well as on the reminiscences of the only passenger still alive at the time the book was written. This book is still the landmark text on the Komagata Maru and diligently outlines the life for Indians at the turn of the 20th century, the reasons for chartering the Komagata Maru, revolutionary movements in North America, the riot at Budge Budge and the lives of many of the key players after the events of the Komagata Maru.
