Publisher's Synopsis
Mahatma Gandhi led a lifelong search for social peace and political non-violence. Committed to dialogue across classes, cultures and faiths, his life and politics stand testimony to a remarkable civic life, which valued restraint, tolerance and transparency above all else. This book historicizes his earnest and provocative writings-on the bomb, Zionism and Palestine, the partition of India-showing his ideas maturing over time into a unique model of public action.
