The Gandhi Reader collects the significant writings by and about Mahatma Gandhi, culled from 500 volumes, newspapers, and magazines. Here is Gandhi in his own words and those of his closest associates, including selections from his autobiography; descriptions of Gandhi by Romain Rolland, Jawaharlal Nehru, Rabindranath Tagore, Louis Fischer; Gandhi's letters to Roosevelt, Hitler, Chiang Kai-shek; and many of his most famous addresses. "A marvellous anthology."-The New Yorker"The best of Gandhi in every area...complete enough to give the reader not just a sampling...but a quite comprehensive grasp of Gandhi's philosophy of life. It is difficult to imagine how this labour of love could have been improved."-Saturday Review
