About this product
Product Information
Opening in July 1914, as Mohandas Gandhi leaves South Africa to return to India, Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1918 traces the Mahatma's life over the three decades preceding his assassination. Drawing on new archival materials, acclaimed historian Ramachandra Guha follows Gandhi's struggle to deliver India from British rule, to forge harmonious relations between India's Hindus and Muslims, to end the pernicious practice of untouchability, and to nurture India's economic and moral self-reliance. He shows how in each of these campaigns, Gandhi adapted methods of nonviolence that successfully challenged British authority and would influence revolutionary movements throughout the world. A revelatory look at the complexity of Gandhi's thinking and motives, the book is a luminous portrait of not only the man himself, but also those closest to him--family, friends, and political and social leaders.

Reviews
"[A] monumental biography. . . . Extraordinarily intimate." -- The New York Times Book Review "Wise, graceful and entertaining. . . . Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1948 will not be bettered, and it is essential reading even for those who do not think of themselves as India buffs, because Gandhi is a maker of our whole modern world." --Ferdinand Mount, The Wall Street Journal "A comprehensive account of the most remarkable figure of the past century." -- San Francisco Chronicle "An important biography. . . . Guha admires Gandhi's achievements, but does not gloss over the man's flaws." -- The New York Times "Expertly chronicled." -- The Washington Post "Massive, meticulous, and engrossing." -- The Times Literary Supplement "Deeply affecting. . . . A rendering of the subject in such fullness that the reader feels himself wrestling directly with the protagonist, his time, and his ideas. . . . Guha's biography builds with perfect tone and economy of expression towards its moving conclusion." -- Financial Times "[A] monumental biography." --Edward Glaeser, The Wall Street Journal "The book's details of Gandhi's life help the reader comprehend how he influenced the world." -- The Christian Science Monitor "Drawing from hundreds of sources, including some never before available to historians, Guha presents a nuanced portrait of a brilliant spiritual and political leader with egalitarian principles and a vision for a nonsectarian India. . . . Readers will be richly reward." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Magnificent." -- The American Interest "A magisterial account of a compassionate man. . . . The author skillfully traces the evolution of Gandhi's political beliefs. . . . He conveys Gandhi's playfulness as well as his intellect." -- The Economist "Dramatic and detailed. . . . [The] second and final volume of Guha's huge, definitive biography of Mahatma Gandhi draws on every imaginable source." -- Foreign Affairs "A thoroughly researched and well-written account and a faithful chronicle." -- New Statesman "Guha mines newly discovered archival material to produce a portrait of the Indian leader that is both panoramic in scope and surprisingly intimate, both admiring of Gandhi and cognizant of his flaws. . . . Incisively written, this is a landmark account of Gandhi's engagement with the world he would transform forever." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "This masterly assessment should serve for several generations, and for non-Indians as well." -- The Literary Review "Superb. On nearly every page, Guha offers evidence why Gandhi remains relevant in the world 70 years after his death." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "The most exhaustive account yet of Gandhi's temporal and spiritual crusades. A vivid and absorbing read. . . . Guha is as dogged a researcher as Gandhi was an agitator." -- The Sunday Times (London), Praise for Ramachandra Guha's Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, 1914-1948 "Magisterial . . . balanced and brilliantly readable . . . This biography reads like the final word on its subject. . . . In fact, this masterly assessment should serve for several generations, and for non-Indians as well." --Bernard Porter, Literary Review (UK) "Ramachandra Guha is as dogged a researcher as Gandhi was an agitator. . . . [This book] is the most exhaustive account yet of Gandhi's temporal and spiritual crusades. A vivid and absorbing read. . . . Gandhi's character and mission demands rigorous exploration and Guha weaves together the narrative as deftly as Gandhi's homespun cloth. . . . A remarkable, pioneering leader who changed the world and still has much to teach us." --Tarquin Hall, The Sunday Times (UK) "A massive and much-needed study of [Guha's] subject's emergence as a world leader. . . . Superb. On nearly every page, Guha offers evidence why Gandhi remains relevant in the world 70 years after his death." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Guha mines newly discovered archival material to produce a portrait of the Indian leader that is both panoramic in scope and surprisingly intimate, both admiring of Gandhi and cognizant of his flaws. . . . Incisively written, this is a landmark account of Gandhi's engagement with the world he would transform forever." -- Publisher's Weekly (starred review) Praise for Ramachandra Guha's Gandhi Before India "Remarkable. . . . [A] moving portrait [with] cinematic richness." --Jyoti Thottam, The New York Times Book Review "A work of vivid social history as well as biography." --Patrick French, The Guardian "Deeply contextualized, dexterously researched, and judiciously written, this deserves to become the landmark biography of the early Gandhi." --Maya Jasanoff, The New Republic "Guha is a brilliant historian who combines the gift of a storyteller, the discipline of an academic and the critical ability of seeing Gandhi as a fascinating human being, by not placing him on a pedestal. . . . [He] has re-created the past by connecting scattered dots . . . to weave a rich tapestry." --Salil Tripathi, San Francisco Chronicle "In Ramachandra Guha, a great man has found a great biographer, a wise, persistent and elegant historian who has done justice to perhaps his nation's greatest story." --Christopher Kremmer, Sydney Morning Herald "Fascinating. . . . A biography with a remarkable ear for the resonances of Gandhi's work and time--for the fan-mail and hate-mail; for overheard disagreements with family and colleagues; for his exchanges with political acquaintances, including his enemies. . . . As exhaustively researched a biography of the African Gandhi as we will have for some time. . . . [ Gandhi Before India ] triumphs." --Elleke Boehmer, The Independent (London)

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
