Gandhi's life was one of the great 20th-century lives, inspiring and enraging, challenging and galvanizing millions of men and women around the world.

In a world defined by violence on a scale never imagined before and by ferocious Fascist and Communist dictatorships, Gandhi was armed with nothing more than his arguments and example.
