In time for the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his birth, a specially curated collection of Mahatma Gandhi's writings on nonviolent resistance and activism. In excerpts drawn from his books, letters, and essays -- including from Hind Swaraj, Satyagraha in South Africa, Yeravda Mandir, Ashram Observances in Action, his readings of Thoreau and Tolstoy, and his essays on the life of Socrates -- the reader observes the power and eloquence of the views that have since Gandhi's time, emboldened so many.
