Industry Reviews
"[A] smooth, highly readable but flawed book.... Someone once called [Gandhi] a cross between a saint and a Tammany Hall politician....Wolpert gives us the saint, but the shrewd politician is little in evidence in this book. And yet Wolpert gets all the essentials right, and he does so in lucid and lively prose."
Washington Post Book World - Shashi Tharoor (03/11/2001)
"Wolpert, a professor of South Asian studies at the University of California, knows India. And he knows history, skillfully delineating Gandhi's influence on Dr. King, Nelson Mandela and other peaceful warriors."
Book - Paul Evans
"Reading Wolpert, Gandhi becomes vividly human--rigid, obsessive, unsure of the right path, but in the end more admirable because he was a flesh-and-blood man who did not flee from the pain that often accompanies love. Those wanting a hagiography may be disappointed, but for everyone else this is a poignant and powerful rendering of a poignant and powerful life."
Zachary Karabell (09/20/2001)
