Importance Of series.
Thorough and thoughtful, this biography of Gandhi covers his childhood, influences that shaped his philosophy of nonviolent resistance, events in his life, and his contribution to India's struggle for independence. Sidebars enrich the text with quotes, including tributes to Gandhi, excerpts from his writings, and related sources, while poorly reproduced black-and-white photos illustrate the book. Bib., glos., ind.

The texts are accompanied by the muddy black-and-white photographs that are this series' unfortunate hallmark. Boxed passages from a variety of primary and secondary sources supplement the books.
