Book:
This is the first pictorial biography of Gandhi in which the narrative-concise, readable
and incisive is illustrated with contemporary 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 detail
and large perspective. This pictorial biography will revive many memories in those who
have lived through the Gandhian era; it should also be of interest to the
post-independence generation.
