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
Customer Review: This edition of Thucydides is really excellent. There are maps and/or images of artifacts on almost every page, along with marginal summaries, and a lot of helpful appendices.

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.

And how Tolstoy played... more info
Customer Review: The international audience might gasp at the comprehensiveness of this tome, but any politically aware Indian will tell you this book offers the same half-truths, and whips up the same paranoia about Indian right. He composed a banal version of Indian history from regular news sources anybody can... more info
Customer Review: This book was recommended to me by a friend who teaches English at the local college. What a great book!
