This is a clear and concise explanation of Gandhi's life and purpose. It's great for someone who just wants the facts, without a lot of detail. I thought the info about Gandhi being shy was an interesting fact that wasn't mentioned in other sources. I also was surprised that he disowned one of his sons. The book makes a good point that Gandhi was a leader who inspired others, worldwide, to follow in his footsteps. I did have some questions after reading this, how did Gandhi support himself while crusading for a free India? What happened to his children? Otherwise, this is a great, quick read.
