Personal account of the life of the man who freed India from colonization through the Satyagraha movement: nonviolent protest. His early childhood, his legal studies, his purification, and ultimately the salvation of his homeland are carefully traced in this inspiring and critical work of unsurpassed significance. For me, along with Carl Jung’s Memoirs, Dreams, and Reflections, this is a truly honest and interesting autobiography. The title says it all and says a lot about a man who seems to be cut from a different pattern than you or me. It truly is a fascinating read as you get a glimpse of the man behind the myth.
