Fischer, Louis

Gandhi : his life and message for the world / Louis Fischer - New York : New American Library, c1954 - 189 pages ; 19 cm.

Includes index.

Part one : From birth to greatness -- Part two : Gandhi in India - January 9, 1915 - March 23, 1946 -- Part three : Victory and tragedy - March 24, 1946 - January 30, 1948

Although an assassin's bullet ended Mahatma Gandhi's life prematurely in 1948, his life and teachings remain a brilliant example today. Louis Fischer's writings about Gandhi served as the inspiration for Richard Attenborough's epic film. In this deeply moving story of the great man who led India's struggle for freedom, he not only captures the spirit of Gandhi's way of life, but shows how that spirit reshaped a country and enriched the live of millions.
