About this listen

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall — think of it, always."
--Gandhi

In 1999, this book was designated as one of the "100 Most Important Spiritual Books of the Twentieth Century" by HarperCollins Publishers.

A holy man to Hindus, a hero to Muslims, and a criminal to the British, Mohandas K. Gandhi was an inspiring figure of the 20th century, a man whose quest to live in accord with God’s highest truth led him to initiate massive campaigns against racism, violence, and colonialism.

From his youthful rebellion against vegetarianism, to his successful law practice in South Africa, his struggle with his own sexual excesses, and his leadership of the movement to free India from British rule, Gandhi describes the story of his life as a series of spiritual “experiments” and explains how he developed his concept of active nonviolent resistance, which propelled the Indian struggle for independence and inspired countless other nonviolent struggles.

Interesting but not as ground breaking

I liked the first part most when he described his experience of a foreigner getting used to living in London. The rest of his experiences are interesting

Fascinating insight into Ghandi's life

Heavy going yet fascinating insight into Ghandi's life - definitely recommended. The narrator articulately conveys Ghandi's thoughts and attitudes despite the obvious challenges in doing so.

As expected, great book, though read by an American.

If you know the story this adds great detail and depicted a great man and philosopher. The problem is trying to get into his rhythm listening to an American accent, where is Ben Kingsley when you need him.

.

Was on my list for quite a time...just finished. Should have listened to it earlier. An eye-opener for any common man, a common man's journey while becoming 'Mahatma'.

a legendary book, not a suitable narrator

i enjoyed the book from just a legend but found it hard to listen to. i think there would have been much benefit in it being read by an indian person.
