"'People describe me as a saint trying to be a politician, but the truth is the other way around," said this century's greatest apostle of nonviolence. Gandhi's impact on history, his vision for peace, and the creative force of his moral teachings are powerfully conveyed in Homer Jack's superb anthology. Here is the Mahatma in his own words and those of his closest associates, from his early days in South Africa to his great campaigns against British colonialism. Gandhi's wide-ranging mind led him to consider subjects as varied as self-restraint, nonviolence in war and peace, Hinduism, Christian missions, diet and diet reform, village industry and sanitation, education, and the emancipation of women. Whatever the topic, his words still bear their truth today." -- Back cover.
