Mohandas K. Gandhi is one of the most inspiring figures of our time. In
his classic autobiography he recounts the story of his life and how he
developed his concept of active nonviolent resistance, which propelled
the Indian struggle for independence and countless other nonviolent
struggles of the twentieth century. In a new foreword, noted peace
expert and teacher Sissela Bok urges us to adopt Gandhi's "attitude of
experimenting, of tesing what will and will not bear close scrutiny,
what can and cannot be adapted to new circumstances," in order to bring
about change in our own lives and communities. All royalties earned on
this book are paid to the Navajivan Trust, founded by Gandhi, for use
in carrying on his work.
