An Autobiography
Gandhi never wavered in his belief in non-violent protest. In 1915 he took up the struggle for independence from Britain, which became a reality in 1947. In this narrative biography, Gandhi also offers his life story as a reference for those who would follow in his footsteps.
First published in two volumes in 1927 and 1929, with a second edition in 1940, this is Gandhi's account of his early spiritual progress towards truth and the circumstances of his life that led him to a practical application of the principles of conduct for which he was revered.
