Insightful, engaging discussion of Buddha - great book!

This is a fantastic book! This is the first book I had read from Sangharakshita, and I have since read it three more times. I know of no other scholar of Buddhism who so captures all complex aspects, including historical, academic, spiritual, and overall implications.Sangaharakshita is a fantastic writer -- someone I imagine to be extremely educated in all senses. "Who is the Buddha" inspired me to begin practice, and I continue to read as many books by this teacher as I can. Highest recommendation.
