Ending British rule over India without striking a single blow, Mahatma Gandhi was revered as both a saint and a master politician in his native country.

Drawn entirely from Gandhi's words, this collection is a comprehensive introduction of one of the modern world's most innovative thinkers.
This anthology, draw entirely from Gandhi's own words, brings to light the philosophical structure upon which the great man built his role in international affairs. Revealing his innermost thoughts and beliefs regarding man and the world, this inspirational material touches on the great concerns of humankind.
