"This is a pictorial biography of Gandhi in which the narrative-concise, readable and incisive-is illustrated with photographs and facsimiles of letters, newspaper reports and cartoons, adding up to a fascinating flash-back on the life of Mahatma Gandhi and the struggle for Indian freedom led by him. There is a skilful matching in this book of text and illustrations, of description and analysis and of concrete details and large perspective. This pictorial biography will revive many memories in those who have lived through the Gandhian era; and should also be of interest to the post-independence generation."
