"Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth, said Albert Einstein about Gandhiji. The present work seeks to understand that extraordinary legend in the simplest possible terms.
"The book is divided, for the convenience of the study, into two parts—Part I deals with the life and work of the great man, and Part II covers his thought. There is a learned editorial note that provides a perspective which may help us see the great man in colours true to history." (jacket)
