Review
A model of Gandhian journalism... Would be [some] of the most valuable pages many people could read about Gandhi. -- Global Conscience, July-Sept. 1990 (referring to an earlier edition)

Product Description
Mahatma Gandhi is one of the least understood figures of all time -- even among his admirers. In this Annual Gandhi Lecture for the International Association of Gandhian Studies, Mark Shepard tackles some persistently wrong-headed views of Gandhi, offering us a more accurate picture of the man and his nonviolence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Insightful and Enlightening, July 22, 2005

By	Robert E. Lewis (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mahatma Gandhi and His Myths (Paperback)

This is a short but powerful story that clears the air of many common misconceptions surrounding Mahatma Gandhi and Satyagraha. Even if you have done some prior study as I have about Gandhi, this book will still clarify many major areas of his work and give some insight into his own actions and works which seemingly run counter to his own professions of ideology. The mysteries are revealed in this jewel of a book.

5.0 out of 5 stars a must read, July 13, 2007

By	chris "teh castle." (U.S.A.) - See all my reviews

it is a good book and for its size, 30 something pages of actual content, it is very enlightening and contains surprising amount of information in its small size. it is a must read for any and all Gandhi followers, critics, or anyone looking for information about his non-violent ways.
