‘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.

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