from Beacon Press
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
This is easily the most powerful book I have ever read. Gandhi does a great job of telling the story in his life in such a way that not only tells a story, but teaches lessons that go along with it. The title explains a lot, considering that Gandhi considered his entire life to be an expirement with... more info

3.Gandhi and Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our AgeGandhi & Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age
from Bantam
Price: $19.80

Customer Review:
Most people will read "Gandhi and Churchill" for the author's detailed study of how the two men compared and contrasted with each other. Remember the exam papers that asked you to compare and contrast two historical periods or two--whatever? Arthur Herman uses the compare and contrast framework to... more info

4.In Spite of the Gods: The Rise of Modern IndiaIn Spite of the Gods: The Rise of Modern India
from Anchor
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I am halfway through the book as of now but I do see an overall bias in the book highlighting the negatives. For example the author spends a huge amount of time describing UP & Bihar the northern states and how corruption is common then just a couple of pages on the south progressing.

from Vintage
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
I have been researching Gandhi for a number of years, so I can claim some expertise in evaluating this book. Simply put, I am not sure why I didn't get to it earlier, as it is a superior collection of Gandhi's writings, blended in skillfully with some of Fischer's own writings about Gandhi. This... more info

7.City of Djinns: A Year in DelhiCity of Djinns: A Year in Delhi
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
The first thing that is incredibly interesting about this book is the way it is approached. To call it a travel book, I feel, is diminishing the many other aspects & experiences this book is about.
This book is kind of a diary of Dalrymple & wife's year in Delhi. And it is also a book... more info

from Columbia University Press
Price: $18.92

Customer Review:
Not only does this book explain the way Hindus view the iconic (formed) and aniconic (abstract) images of the gods, but also the corollary view and conception of temples and holy personages. The title and key idea in all this is "darsan," which means not only viewing the sacred, but simultaneously... more info
