Thomas Weber's book comprises a series of biographical reflections
about people who influenced Gandhi, and those who were, in turn,
influenced by him. While the previous literature has tended to
focus on Gandhi's political legacy, Weber's book explores the
spiritual, social and philosophical resonances of these
relationships, and it is with these aspects of the Mahatma's life
in mind, that the author selects his central protagonists. These
include friends such as Henry Polak and Hermann Kallenbach, who are
not as well known as those usually cited, but who left a deep
impression nevertheless, and motivated some of Gandhi's major life
changes. Conversely, the work of luminaries such as E.F. Schumacher
and Gene Sharp reveal the Mahatma's influence in arenas which are
not traditionally associated with his thinking. Weber's book offers
new and intriguing insights into the life and thought of one of the
most significant figures of the twentieth century.
