Publisher's Synopsis
This selection of Gandhi's writings, taken from his letters, articles and books, represents a cross-section of his thought, from his early years as a young barrister freshly called to the bar in London, to his final days as sage and counsel to newly independent India. The selection not only reveals the growth of his ideas but also their essential internal integrity and consistency. The book shows Gandhi to be both an ascetic mystic contemplative, as well as a man of action, and reveals aspects of Gandhi's thought and character that may previously have been obscured.
