Synopsis
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 satyagraha, or active nonviolent resistance,
which propelled the Indian struggle for independence and
countless other nonviolent struggles of the twentieth
century.
In a new foreword, peace expert and teacher Sissela Bok
urges us to adopt Gandhi's "attitude of experimenting.
Of testing 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.
