India in the Years 1917–1918, written by L. F. Rushbrook Williams and published in 1919 as an official parliamentary report, offers a detailed British administrative overview of India during a pivotal turning point in modern history. Covering the period from April 1917 to December 1918, the book chronicles India's massive military and financial contributions to the final stages of World War I, the severe socioeconomic distress brought on by wartime inflation, scarcity, and the 1918 flu pandemic, and the momentous political shifts surrounding Edwin Montagu’s August 1917 declaration of self-governance that led to the Montagu–Chelmsford constitutional reforms.
