Description

Gandhi was one of the great leaders of the century, and in this biography first published by Beacon in 1957, he recounts the story of his life and how he came to be leader of the Indian people in their struggle for independence from British rule. His legacy of nonviolent protest was an inspiration for millions worldwide, including key figures like Martin Luther King. This new edition has a foreword by by the author, teacher and peace expert Sissela Bok, introducing the philosophy of non-violent protest to a new generation of readers.

Author Biography:

Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948) was a lawyer and the prominent figure behind India’s push for independence from British rule. He followed the philosophies of pacifism, believing in the importance of the nonviolent approach to protesting. He documented his influential life in An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments with Truth. Born and raised in Western India to a Hindu family, Gandhi received barrister training in London. He first experienced institutional racial discrimination in South Africa, which spurred him to his first actions in leading group-based nonviolent civil disobedience. He later returned to India and led protests against British colonialism, excessive taxation, and racial discrimination. Known as 'the Father of the Nation," Gandhi was instrumental in the fight for religious pluralism and Indian independence. He was assassinated in 1948.
