Few men in their lifetime have aroused stronger emotions or touched deeper chords than Gandhi. B R Nanda's biography, widely-acclaimed upon its publication in 1958, has been established over time as a full, authoritative account. Compelling, carefully researched and objective, it is the biography of a remarkable figure, the events of whose life have lost none of their relevance. Capturing all the nuances of the momentous events it covers, it is a record and analysis of a critical period in South-Asian history that all interested in the area will value. This is the complete and unabridged version of the biography in Oxford India Paperbacks for the first time.
