Book Synopsis
Drawing on sources only recently made available, the author sketches a portrait of Gandhi within the context of his time in which the Indian leader emerges as neither a plaster saint nor a wily politician, but as a complex man whose actions followed honourably from his convictions.

Table of Contents
Part 1 The forging of a public man: an Indian nonentity; South African experience I - the self-taught political apprentice; South African experience II - "The Satyagrahi"; India and the returning exile. Part 2 Indian identity: Mahatma and nation, 1920-34; non-co-operation - the road to Swaraj?; fruits of reflection - roots of identity; civil disobedience - the quest for legitimacy and unity 1928-34. Part 3 The crises of old age: "Where there is no vision, the people perish"; non-violence on trial; prisoner of hope.
