Mohandas K. Gandhi is one of the most inspiring figures of our time. In his classic autobiography he recounts the story of his life and how he developed his concept of satyagraha, or active nonviolent resistance, which propelled the Indian struggle for independence and countless other nonviolent struggle os the twentieth century. In a new foreword, noted peace expert and teacher sissela bok urges us to adopt Gandhi's attitude of experiment of testing what will and will not bear close scrutiny. What can and cannot be adapted to new circumstances, in order to bring about change in our own lives and communities.
