Superb Account

Mr. Payne's account of the Mahatma's life is at once reverential of the great one, while recognizing that he was a human with human frailties. The Life and Death of Mahatma Gandhi portrays the development, the greatness and the failures of a saint, who changed the world and challenged forever the global culture of violence. To understand that Gandhiji was a flawed human being additionally gave me great hope that from quite humble material, saints are born. The Mahatma is also presented in his great strength, as a leader of men, a shrewd politician, and as a lover of God.
