Newton Books Gandhi: Radical Wisdom for a Changing World

Over 60 years after his death, Gandhi remains more relevant than ever. This inspiring anthology draws from around 50,000 pages of his original writings, speeches, news articles, letters, and state documents, to offer a judicious, chronological selection covering his education, his controversial marriage, his struggle in South Africa, his deeply held spiritual principles, and his momentous achievement in liberating India from British rule. Reading like an enthralling narrative, it's a book on nonviolence, truth, prejudice, and religion that belongs on every shelf.

Mohandas K. Gandhi was the leader of India's non-violent independence movement against British rule and a global icon of peaceful civil disobedience, whose philosophy went on to inspire civil rights and freedom movements around the world. This edition was compiled and edited by Alan Jacobs, a scholar of comparative religion and mysticism who has edited numerous works in the Watkins Sacred Wisdom series, including anthologies on the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, and Native American wisdom.
