Gandhi and the Unspeakable

Más información sobre el libro

James Douglass, following the theme of his previous study of the JFK assassination, shows how those who conspired to kill Gandhi hoped to destroy a compelling vision of peace, nonviolence, and reconciliation. In tracing the story of Gandhi's early "experiments with truth" in South Africa, Douglass shows how Gandhi had early on confronted and over-come the fear of death. And, as with the case of JFK's death, he shows why this story matters today: what we can learn from Gandhi's truth and its opposition to the powers of his time. Book jacket.
