About this listen

At the beginning of the 1930s, historian William L. Shirer was sent to India by the Chicago Tribune to cover the rise of the Independence Movement. During this time Shirer was privileged to observe Mahatma Gandhi as he launched the Civil Disobedience Campaign and to enjoy his personal friendship and confidence.

In this fascinating memoir, Shirer writes perceptively and unforgettably about Gandhi’s frailties as well as his accomplishments. Despite his greatness, Gandhi was the first to admit that he was a human being with his own prejudices and peculiarities: He could be stubborn and dictatorial, yet the magnificence of the man rose above all else.

Gandhi: A Memoir sheds a special light on the man who left such an indelible imprint on India and the world.

I finished the book in no time. The chapters just breeze through. In a very interesting way, Shirer shows you his intrigue for the Gandhi, Gandhi's thoughts and in some sense his genius.

More than the above reasons, what I appreciate more is his frank description of British rule in India. We also learn a bit about Jinnah, Nehru and Sarojini Naidu.

Finally, it does make you ponder on some very interesting philosophies of non-violence and the power of masses.

I thoroughly loved it and would encourage anyone wondering to pick it up or not to simply pick it up.
