Review

This book begins with Gandhi's death and how it came to be. It looks at Gandhi's early life, schooling, and how a play seen at age 12 influenced the rest of his life. The author also takes the reader into the politics of the time and how there was an element that was very anti Gandhi and what led to his death. Bibliography & glossary in back. Easy to read, thorough.

Overall Book Score: excellent
