Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1948

Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1948

Opening in July 1914, as Mohandas Gandhi leaves South Africa to return to India, Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1918 traces the Mahatmaâ€™s life over the three decades preceding his assassination. Drawing on new archival materials, acclaimed historian Ramachandra Guha follows Gandhiâ€™s struggle to deliver India from British rule, to forge harmonious relations between Indiaâ€™s Hindus and Muslims, to end the pernicious practice of untouchability, and to nurture Indiaâ€™s economic and moral self-reliance. He shows how in each of these campaigns, Gandhi adapted methods of nonviolence that successfully challenged British authority and would influence revolutionary movements throughout the world. A revelatory look at the complexity of Gandhiâ€™s thinking and motives, the book is a luminous portrait of not only the man himself, but also those closest to himâ€”family, friends, and political and social leaders.
