The definitive biography of one of this century's most
important-and controversial-figures. Drawing on sources only
recently made available, Judith M. Brown sketches a fresh and
surprising portrait of Gandhi within the context of his time, in
which the Indian leader emerges as neither a plaster saint nor a
wily politician, but as a complex man whose actions followed
honorably from his convictions. "This is the best biography of
Gandhi so far and deserves to be read by everyone interested in him
and in modern India."-Bhikhu Parekh, New Statesman and Society
"Judith Brown has written the most systematic, balanced, and clear
biography of Gandhi I have yet seen."-Howard Spodek, Annals of the
American Academy of Political and Social Science "In fascinating
detail, Brown chronicles the fate of nonviolent tactics in South
Africa and, after 1915, in India, where Gandhi-now clad in
loincloth and sandals-quickly became a patriotic hero."-Jim Miller,
Newsweek "It is a superb book, elegantly written, and I would
recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about Gandhi as well
as the social context which helped to mould him as a man and a
politician."-Tariq Ali, Guardian "This is as fine an exposition of
Gandhi's religious beliefs as we are likely to get. ... [Brown] has
clearly established herself as [Gandhi's] leading interpreter to
her generation."-Antony Copley, History Today Judith M. Brown is
Beit Professor of the History of the British Commonwealth at Oxford
University.
