Customer Reviews

This book captures his life both spiritually and politicaly.

The book Gandhi, The Power Of Pacifism, is a succinct and powerful portrayal of Gandhi's life. I found it very informing. It's filled with good pictures of Gandhi and of the land he fought to free, as well as many of the people he encountered during this struggle. It is an honest account of the Mahatma's life, complete with his victories and defeats, both personal and political. It focuses on Gandhi's two prominent forces; ultimate pacifism and self-sacrificing. In conclusion, Catherine Clement does a good job of both informing and inspiring the reader.
