Gandhi

The biography explores the life of a shy boy who transformed into a pivotal leader in India's quest for independence. After studying law in London, he dedicated two decades to advocating for Indian rights in South Africa. Returning to India in 1914, he spearheaded a nonviolent movement against British colonialism. Philip Wilkinson's engaging narrative chronicles Gandhi's extraordinary journey, culminating in India's independence in 1947 and his assassination in 1948 by a fanatic opposed to his message of tolerance.
