The Story of My Experiments with Truth is the compelling autobiography of Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi, who inspired millions with the sheer strength of his personal actions and steadfast upholding of the twin principles of truth and non-violence in the face of the most adverse circumstances.

This is The Truth—a forensic autopsy of human civilization. We strip away the "Disney-style" filters to expose the gritty, visceral reality of our shared history. From the genetic anomalies of the Nephilim and the biological survival tactics of the desert to the "oily clank" of the printing press and the cold engineering of the Titanic, we document the cases the gatekeepers tried to bury. We go beyond the sermons to examine the clinical price of power: the torture racks of the Inquisition, the ballistics of global warfare, and the systematic eradication of indigenous souls in the name of God...
