This appears to be a collection of writings, and as such it doesn't have a good flow. It's not what I thought I was buying. Further it appears to be a print-on-demand book and the printing and paper quality is low. I'm a big fan of Gandhi's but this book doesn't do justice to his accomplishments.

I paid extra for shipping but took a long time to get to me...long after all other books i ordered at same time arrived.

Book was in good shape for age.

First published in 1928 when his South African days were well over, this book provides invaluable insight into Gandhi's Satyagraha in South Africa. It is the place where his religious and philosophical commitment to non-violence began. Sadly an increasingly rare find, this book offers some mixed biographical overview with commentary about the strength and limitations of satyagraha, as well as the important first members to make it work. Gandhi was not alone, but had invaluable help from Muslims, European Christians, Parsis and many others.
