Gandhi

"Rajmohan Gandhi, has made it possible to know the Mahatma in real depth, in a monumental biography that looks likely to stand as definitive for the foreseeable future. . . . The younger Gandhi has studied the elder's life in about as great detail as one can imagine, and with his family tie to his subject has had access to previously unavailable private documents and photographs. Because Mahatma Gandhi was a prolific writer and, in keeping with his religious/philosophical position, practiced relentless self-examination his whole life, the result is a biography as intimate as it is epic."—Charleston Post & Courier

"Gandhi has skillfully narrated events in the life of his grandfather, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi . . . [who] continues to fill the reader with awe throughout this excellent book. Although many commendable studies of Gandhi have been written, this one is a comprehensive and therefore invaluable resource both for scholars and for those embarking on a beginning study of the man."—Library Journal STARRED REVIEW

"This thorough, inspiring account is notable not just for the author's personal ties and obvious passion, but for his considerable research and the enormity of his undertaking."—Publishers Weekly

"The book is a huge new 'definitive' biography, but it's also full of memorable windows into the great man's spiritual wisdom."—Read the Spirit
