Mohandas Gandhi was born at a time when his home country was choked under the oppression of British rule. Although many thought that violence was the only way to fight this injustice, Gandhi successfully used his teachings of non-violence and civil disobedience to win his country's freedom - and create a philosophy of peace and equality. Called Mahatma, or "great soul," by his many followers, Gandhi's inspiring words and deeds still resonate worldwide today.

Each book also includes an author's introduction letter, a glossary, and an index.
