  1. 1. Gandhi And Churchill

    The Epic Rivalry That Destroyed the British Empire and Forged the Modern World

    A dual biography that follows two towering figures whose conflicting visions and actions—one a stubborn defender of imperial power, the other a leader of mass nonviolent resistance—played out against the upheavals of the early 20th century; weaving archival research and vivid narrative, it contrasts their personalities, strategies, and decisions during world wars and political crises to show how their rivalry and mutual influence undermined the British Empire and helped bring about the modern postcolonial order.
