Gandhi's ideas are as meaningful today as they were during his
long and inspiring life. His enlightening thoughts and beliefs,
especially on violence and the atomic bomb, reveal his eloquent
foresight about our contemporary world. The words of one of the
greatest men of the twentieth century, chosen by the award-winning
director Richard Attenborough from Gandhi's letters, speeches, and
published writings, explore the prophet's timeless thoughts on
daily life, cooperation, nonviolence, faith, and peace.
This bestselling volume includes an introduction by
Attenborough and an afterword by Time magazine Senior Foreign
Correspondent Johanna McGeary that places Gandhi's life and work in
the historical context of the twentieth century. This book and the
film Gandhi were the result of producer/director Richard
Attenborough's long commitment to keeping alive the flame of
Gandhi's spiritual achievement and the wisdom of his actions and
his words. They are the wisdom and words of peace. Also included
are twenty striking historical photographs, specially selected from
the archives at the National Gandhi Museum in New Delhi, that
capture the important personal, political, and spiritual aspects of
Gandhi's career.

Personal account of the life of the man who freed India from
colonization through the Satyagraha nonviolent protest movement.
His early boyhood life, legal studies, purification, and ultimate
salvation of his homeland is carefully recounted in this inspiring
and critical work of insurmountable importance.
Dated the 14th of December 1908, A Letter to a Hindu was a letter
written by Leo Tolstoy to Tarak Nath Das, a Bengali revolutionary
and scholar, in response to a request for support for India's
separation from British rule, which argued that the Indian people
should seek to free themselves from British rule through
non-violent protests and strikes, and other forms of peaceful
resistance. The letter soon gained international attention after it
was published in the Free Hindustan, and it came to the attention
of the young Mahatma Gandhi. Drawing on a variety of sources,
cultures and teachings, Tolstoy's letter was instrumental in
forming Gandhi's views on non-violent resistance - as Gandhi
himself acknowledges in his introduction: 'To me, as a humble
follower of that great teacher whom I have long looked upon as one
of my guides, it is a matter of honour to be connected with the
publication of his letter'.
