Gandhi His Life and Message for the World by Louis Fischer 1st Signet Classic Printing, 2010 Includes Photographs! Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a man of contradictions. He was a lawyer too shy to speak in court, but a spokesman whose words defied as empire. He preached nonviolence against his countrys oppressors, but encouraged his people to take up arms during the First World War. His frail appearance hid the stamina and strength he displayed when he marched more than two hundred miles in twenty-four days. He lived a life free of desire, yet was driven to fulfill his grandest wish: Indias freedom from British rule. This is the extraordinary story of how one mans indomitable spirit inspired a nation to triumph over tyranny. This is the story of Mahatma Gandhi, a man who owned nothing - and gained everything.
