Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1948
ByPublisher Description
Opening in July 1914, as Mohandas Gandhi leaves South Africa to return to India, Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1918 traces the Mahatma’s life over the three decades preceding his assassination. Drawing on new archival materials, acclaimed historian Ramachandra Guha follows Gandhi’s struggle to deliver India from British rule, to forge harmonious relations between India’s Hindus and Muslims, to end the pernicious practice of untouchability, and to nurture India’s economic and moral self-reliance. He shows how in each of these campaigns, Gandhi adapted methods of nonviolence that successfully challenged British authority and would influence revolutionary movements throughout the world. A revelatory look at the complexity of Gandhi’s thinking and motives, the book is a luminous portrait of not only the man himself, but also those closest to him—family, friends, and political and social leaders.

“By far one of the best biography of Mahatma Gandhi written by well known Gandhian historian . It vividly holds up the political and cultural image of India during his reign. The book also discusses Gandhiji's interaction with other global leaders and similarities and differences among them with reasons explaining the both. The book must be read by every individual to learn the principles which freed India from the shackles of colonial domination.
The book is a bit lengthy extending to around 900(approx) pages without epilogue and notes. But is anyhow a worth read.”
