Though I already own several books on Gandhi, as soon as the cover of this brand-new publication caught my eye, I knew it would end up on my bookshelf.
A closer look at the first pages reveals that it is a new edition of an older book originally published decades ago, written by a man who spent time in Gandhi's ashram in order to gain a personal insight into Gandhi's life and understand the source of his inner strength, discipline and morality.
Rather than just covering the events and historical aspects of Gandhi's life, the book, enriched with countless digitally enhanced full-page photographs, focuses on Gandhi's personal and spiritual journey as a man whose unfailing aspiration was to change himself and through this change inspire the world. More than half a century after his death, Gandhi's example still shines bright.
