Mahatma Gandhi: A Life from Beginning to End

Hourly History, 2025

Gandhi. The name conjures the image of a man—unimpressive in appearance and simple in his lifestyle—who spent his life pursuing independence for India. Months after the country achieved that independence from Great Britain, Gandhi's life ended when an assassin killed him. But Gandhi's legacy lives on. His rise to political and spiritual leadership is the incredible saga of a man who, in his youth, showed no signs of greatness but who became one of the most influential figures of all time. The civil rights movement led by Martin Luther King Jr. owes its inspiration to Gandhi, and the patient suffering of Nelson Mandela in his fight against apartheid grew out of Gandhi's doctrine of civil disobedience. The twentieth century saw the rise of despots and dictators, charlatans and cowards; it witnessed the evolution of weapons so deadly that whole countries could be destroyed; it incubated political philosophies and religious extremism that sought to eradicate democracy and mock compassion. Yet amidst all the violence and hatred, Gandhi remained steadfast in his beliefs—and those beliefs have changed the world. Discover a plethora of topics such as Growing up in India Studying Law in London Political Activism in South Africa Becoming the Mahatma The Battle for Independence in India The Martyr of India Discover the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the revolutionary leader whose nonviolent resistance changed history. From India's independence to his global impact on civil rights, his philosophy of peace continues to inspire. Perfect for readers of biography and transformative leadership.
