This book is a testament of Gandhi's words. It helps show the reader the difficult times of colonialism in India. If anyone wants to hear a hero and his philosophies of how to lead a nation out of imperialization, this is a great book.
I read this as a primary source document and found nearly every essay to be revealing and important. His letters and correspondence only add to his stature.
I purchased this book as a requirement for my philosophy class. Although it served its purpose as far as philosophers go I found Gandhi to be quite unrealistic, contradictory and hypocritical. I'd recommend Plato for a more mystical, spiritual and entertaining philosophical experience or Epicurus for a more concrete, scientific approach. Keep in mind both are VERY old school... as in Ancient.
