Gandhi by Yogesh Chadha (Paperback - John Wiley & Sons Inc)
The Internationally Acclaimed Biography of One of History’s Monumental Figures Gandhi: A Life The first biography of this important figure in over twenty years, Gandhi: A Life rescues the man from the myth, revealing the transformation of an ordinary, timid young man into a leader whose stand against a mighty empire brought millions together. "Until another Gandhi scholar comes along who digs deeper and can write more movingly, Gandhi scholarship will be well served by Chadha’s effort." — The Washington Post Book World "It is well-balanced, even-handed, and, like its subject, inspiring." —Kirkus Reviews "An engaging work worthy of a wide audience." —Library Journal "A sober, sensible, and notably fair account of this most quicksilver of personalities … far from uncritical … But on the whole he is approving, even reverential. Usually he convinces one that this is justified." — Daily Telegraph (London) "The first major biography to appear for twenty years … [with] a depth and authority which others have lacked." —The Independent (London)

The Essential Gandhi by Louis Fischer (Paperback - Reprint)
Mohandas K. Gandhi, called Mahatma ("great soul"), was the father of modern India, but his influence has spread well beyond the subcontinent and is as important today as it was in the first part of the twentieth century and during this nation's own civil rights movement. Taken from Gandhi's writings throughout his life, The Essential Gandhi introduces us to his thoughts on politics, spirituality, poverty, suffering, love, non-violence, civil disobedience, and his own life. The pieces collected here, with explanatory head notes by Gandhi biographer Louis Fischer, offer the clearest, most thorough portrait of one of the greatest spiritual leaders the world has known.
With a new Preface drawn from the writings of Eknath Easwaran

Gandhi by David Arnold (Paperback - Longman Pub Group)

Few individuals have made so great a mark upon their times, and yet Gandhi never held high political office, commanded no armies and was not even a compelling orator. How then can his power be explained? How and why did the shy student and affluent lawyer come to challenge a Western empire?

David Arnold's fascinating profile tracks ?Mahatma' Gandhi's influence and image over more than forty years of public life:

  • the struggle for the rights of Indians in South Africa which pitched him against white racism
  • Gandhi's techniques of non-cooperation and civil disobedience to drive out the British and wrest India's freedom
  • his ascendancy over the British, the Salt March of 1930, his unique appeal as both Hindu saint and ordinary colonial subject
  • why India's independence in 1947, and violent partition, was not the freedom for which Gandhi had struggled
  • Gandhi's bitter disillusionment before his assassination in January 1948

In leading India to independence, Gandhi also contributed uniquely to British political life and to the eventual dissolution of a worldwide Empire. This is a vivid introduction to his life and times.


DAVID ARNOLD is Professor of South Asian History at the School of Oriental and African Studies in the University of London.
