Gandhi: 5 Speeches That Changed the World

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was one of the great moral and political figures of this or any time; an international hero, he was the preeminent leader of Indian nationalism in British-ruled India. 


With quiet words of wisdom, and a passion for social justice, he inspired citizens everywhere with his willingness to perform astonishing acts of courage and integrity. Thus did he help awaken—and solidify—one of the most significant movements in the history of mankind. 


Employing non-violent civil disobedience, M. Gandhi led India to independence, and inspired movements for non-violence, civil rights, and freedom across the world. 


The remarkable bravery and profound moral conviction of Mahatma M. Gandhi—and his long walk to freedom—will live on in his profound speeches. 


Taken together, M. Gandhi’s 5 Speeches that Changed the World are a deeply touching chronicle of one of the most remarkable lives of the twentieth century, and a veritable primer in the principles and practice of personal courage. 


They are the everlasting legacy of a truly extraordinary man. 


MAHATMA GANDHI (1869-1948), civil rights leader, campaigner for social justice, inspired and sustained the struggle for freedom, nonviolence, and interracial unity. His immortal words and exceptional deeds continue to shape the lives and destinies of people throughout the world today.
