This new volume is an abridgement of Oxford's authoritative three-volume Moral and Political Writings of Mahatma Gandhi. The book, drawing from every period in Gandhi's life, collects a wide range of unabridged letters, articles, and extracts from books that do full justice to the subtlety, richness, and evolution of Gandhi's thought. Iyer's introduction elucidates Gandhi's crucial concepts and their varied applications, and is supplemented by a helpful glossary of terms and a chronology of events. An invaluable reference, this book will help create a fuller, more accurate appreciation of Gandhi's significant and compelling contribution to this century and the future.

About the Author:
Raghavan Iyer is at University of California, Santa Barbara.
Review:
'... a judicious mix of excerpts from Gandhi's letters, articles, and books which come together to provide a useful introduction to his political theory. The selected passages, together with Iyer's introduction, present a definitive picture of Gandhi. ... the organisation of the material makes the book easy to use without totally neglecting significant historical details. ... political theorists seeking a broad understanding of the way Gandhi perceived the world will find this selection more that adequate to their needs. Certainly, this is the best single-volume selectin known to me.' --Mark Bevir. University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The Journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics
