The life and times of Mahatma Gandhi from 1920 to 1948, told through a selection of his autobiographical writings. Library Journal Selected from 80 volumes of Gandhi's Collected Works, these 119 letters, newspaper articles, interviews, and speeches elicit a brief glimpse of Gandhi from 1920 to 1947. Meticulously edited by Green, a noted Gandhian scholar, the selections are grouped into seven four-year periods; each has a brief introduction and a short chronology of Gandhi's activities. A variety of subjects are discussed, including death, prostitution, religion, fasting, and political relations with several viceroys. Of particular interest is a series of six letters describing his jail experiences. Numerous entries contain Gandhi's economic thinking, which still reads absurdly. For public libraries. John F. Riddick, Central Michigan Univ. Lib., Mt. Pleasant
