This is the extraordinary story of how one man's indomitable spirit inspired a nation to triumph over tyranny. This is the story of Mahatma Gandhi, a man who owned nothing-and gained everything.

Gandhi Review:
The book is historically accurate but fails to deliver any sort of punch. It is a slow read which is sad for a man who lead such a dynamic life.
Lacking in many areas!:
I purchased this book on Gandhi as an intro to his life and works. I did not realize that it was written over 50 years ago though, and it shows. What I mean is- if you are looking for a very human portrait of the man, look elsewhere. I just couldn't get through this. The first 20 pages alone skip around so much and leave out years of his life- it leaves the reader feeling lost. There is no explanation as to what he thought, felt, etc. It's mainly cold hard facts about his life, and the history of the time.... more info
A Short Classic:
This is one of the best, short books about Gandhi in existence. A classic that deserves to be published again and again, it is also a book that should be read again and again. If you want a good, authoritative book about Gandhi, but this book without hesitation.
From Gandhi's own mouth:
I read this book while in college and was so impressed that the editors allow Gandhi's own words to represent his philosophy of non-violence and peace. It's very well organized by chapters and has good commentary throughout. This is a great introduction to Gandhi and his impact in Asia and the world.
