Reviews
"In one of his most widely quoted statements, Albert Einstein observed, 'Generations to come ... will scarce believe that such a one as [Mohandas K. Gandhi] ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.' Richard Deats account of Gandhi’s life and message could not be more timely. It is accessible, concise, and compelling. Read it.”

"Richard Deats' analysis of Gandhi’s search for God and the value of nonviolence is very readable and insightful. Gandhi always believed one cannot find God without first understanding and living a nonviolent lifestyle. This book shows us the way to higher thinking and higher living.”
