About this ebook

Gandhi. The name conjures the image of a man—unimpressive in appearance and simple in his lifestyle—who spent his life pursuing independence for India. Months after the country achieved that independence from Great Britain, Gandhi’s life ended when an assassin killed him. But Gandhi’s legacy lives on. His rise to political and spiritual leadership is the incredible saga of a man who, in his youth, showed no signs of greatness but who became one of the most influential figures of all time. The civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. owes its inspiration to Gandhi, and the patient suffering of Nelson Mandela in his fight against apartheid grew out of Gandhi’s doctrine of civil disobedience.

The twentieth century saw the rise of despots and dictators, charlatans and cowards; it witnessed the evolution of weapons so deadly that whole countries could be destroyed; it incubated political philosophies and religious extremism that sought to eradicate democracy and mock compassion. Yet amidst all the violence and hatred, Gandhi remained steadfast in his beliefs—and those beliefs have changed the world.
