Book Synopsis

‘A monumental yet intimate biography, a vivid portrait of the man, the statesman and the saint’ The Times

Mahatma Gandhi became a legend in his own time.

A tireless fighter for human rights and for Indian independence, his strategy of satyagraha, or passive resistance, earned him the admiration of millions.

Louis Fischer's biography is the definitive account of Ghandi's life; it tells the astonishing story of one man who changed the world forever.

This is the perfect read to celebrate and understand Ghandi in the year of the 150th anniversary of his birth.
