A highly original, stirring book on Mahatma Gandhi that deepens our sense of his achievements and disappointments - his success in seizing India’s imagination and shaping its independence struggle as a mass movement, his recognition late in life that few of his followers paid more than lip service to his ambitious goals of social justice for the country’s minorities, outcasts, and rural poor.

Completely Unacceptable Narration
Revisado: 04-28-11
There have been enough reviews of the book, so let me focus on the narration. This is a horrible audio edition period. The narrator caricatures Indian accents in a manner that is not only melodramatic, but insulting. He fumbles over and mispronounces basic Indian words and expressions and completely mangles common Indian names (Bose, for instance). Audible should be ashamed of itself for not hiring a more competent narrator who could have been more culturally sensitive to the material.
