The Life Of Mahatma Gandhi by Louis Fischer

A detailed, sympathetic biography tracing his transformation from a shy, law-trained clerk into the foremost leader of India’s independence movement, exploring his experiments in truth, discipline, and simple living; his development and practice of nonviolent civil disobedience (satyagraha) in South Africa and India; his moral and political struggles with communal tensions, British rule, and fellow nationalists; and the personal sacrifices, contradictions, and lasting global influence that culminated in his assassination and enduring legacy as a symbol of peaceful resistance.
