Summary:
Gandhi
has inspired civil rights and liberation movements the world over. Yet he was also a
man
of many contradictions. His resistance to racism strikes a thoroughly
modern
note, but his vision of
India
was that of an almost medieval society. Adams delineates
Gandhi
's incredible drive, including his relentless reinvention of his own persona.
