This monumental biography of one of the most intriguing figures of
the twentieth century, written by his grandson, is the first to
give a complete and balanced account of Mahatma Gandhi's remarkable
life, the development of his beliefs and his political campaigns,
and his complex relations with his family. Written with
unprecedented insight and access to family archives, it reveals a
life of contrasts and contradictions: the westernized Inner Temple
lawyer who wore the clothes of India's poorest and who spun cotton
by hand, the apostle of nonviolence who urged Indians to enlist in
the First World War, the champion of Indian independence who never
hated the British. It tells of Gandhi's campaigns against racial
discrimination in South Africa and untouchability in India, tracks
the momentous battle for India's freedom, explores the evolution of
Gandhi's strategies of non-violent resistance, and examines
relations between Muslims and non-Muslims, a question that
attracted Gandhi's passionate attention and one that persists
around the world today. Published to rave reviews in India in 2007,
this riveting book gives North American readers the true Gandhi,
the man as well as the legend, for the first time.
