The Making of Mahatma Gandhi; the Story in His Own Words:

Satyagraha in South Africa

In all continents of the globe, the life of M.K. Gandhi has inspired the political and social choices of ordinary women and men. His long life of intrepid experimentation in applying spiritual principles to public life was chronicled by him in letters, newspapers, speeches, and instructive memoirs.

In his own words, written a decade later in an Indian jail, Mahatma Gandhi tells how the irresistible, spiritual weapon of nonviolence called Satyagraha was thorougly developed in South Africa before it was brought by him to India. His South African years mark the transformation of a young ineffectual lawyer into the greatest leader of the 20th century and his legacy the greatest hope of the 21st. Gandhi's account of "Satyagraha in South Africa" is essential reading for a basic understanding of his ideas and development.
