Bookroo's summary
Mahatma Gandhi, once a shy boy, transforms into a pivotal leader, championing nonviolent resistance against British rule in India. After honing his legal skills in London and advocating for Indian rights in South Africa, he returns to India in 1914. His relentless pursuit of justice and equality leads to India's independence in 1947. However, his vision of tolerance faces a tragic end when he is assassinated by an extremist in 1948. Discover the journey of a man whose peaceful protests changed the course of history and inspired generations to come.
From the publisher
A shy, serious boy, Mahatma Gandhi would later lead India to nationhood and change the course of history. After studying law in London, he championed Indian rights in South Africa for two decades. He returned to India in 1914, leading a campaign of nonviolent protest and civil disobedience against British rule. Philip Wilkinson’s lively narrative takes us through his remarkable life, up to India’s independence in 1947, and the tragic conclusion; in 1948 Gandhi was assassinated by a fanatic opposed to his program of tolerance for all creeds and religions.
