"Gopal Krishna Gokhale – His Life and Speeches is a detailed study of, as the name suggests, the life and speeches of the great ‘Moderate’ leader. It acts not only as a casual life sketch, but also emphasises the importance of various people, beliefs and objectives in the life of this man who did not let trying situations impede the enthusiasm of his nationalistic fervour."
