This is a biography of Gandhi. It explains his philosophy of nonviolence and how he used it in South Africa and then in India to help the Indian people in both places win their freedom. I found the book to be very interesting. I had heard of Gandhi in the past but this book made him into a real person and showed me how one person can make a difference.
It also explains the use of nonviolence as used by Gandhi in India and how it can be used today. It can be used in our families or in our workplaces. I found the concepts used in this book to be very interesting. I think that violence is overused and does not really come up with a solution to the problem. Violence just kills the problem.
Gandhi seemed to understand what violence does to people and tried to teach people how to handle problems without violence. He spent a lot of time in jail and his life ended in a tragic way. He was assassinated by a man who was angry because Gandhi was succeeding. This book is a wonderful book for learning more about Gandhi and also learning more about his principles of nonviolence.
