Reviews

"Gandhi has skillfully narrated events in the life of his grandfather, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi... [An] excellent book." (Starred Review)--Library Journal "A monumental biography that looks likely to stand as definitive for the foreseeable future."--Charleston Post & Courier "I was not prepared to be as educated, entertained, and inspired as I was by this mighty work of his grandson Rajmohan Gandhi."--Tikkun
