Name: Gandhi, a memoir
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)
Author: William L. Shirer

Covering the crucial period of Gandhi's political activity from the Dandi Salt March in 1930 to the end of the second Round Table Conference in London in 1931, William L Shirer records his impressions, conversations and memoirs of MK Gandhi as a person and a shrewd politician in the showdown between British imperialism and Indian nationalism. He also highlights Gandhi's naivete in other aspects of international relations as well his flaws as a human being. Although not intended as a biography, it draws a picture of Gandhi's life from 1930 till his death in 1948. On the whole, a moving memoir, if at times slightly inclined to hero-worship.

First publish date: 1979
