In the marketplace of books on the life of Mahatma Gandhi there have been none before this that could capture as fully his adherence to the Hindu faith, his closeness to Muslims, and his belief that Hindus and Muslims could peacefully “live side by side.”

 

Beyond that this book covers in detail the fact that he met and conversed with the Christian leaders of his day and that while they were his best and most trusted friends, even they would admit that they never really knew Gandhi.
