The present book covers the last years of Mahatma Gandhi’s life in which the results of all the experiments that he carried out throughout his career were put to their severest and final test. The author’s writings in Young India and Harijan and several works on Mahatma Gandhi have well established him as a faithful and authoritative chronicler and interpreter of Gandhiji’s life and philosophy. It is only in a detailed account of what Gandhiji d, how he d it and why he d it that a soul-stirring picture of his life and teaching can be found. The present work represents such an attempt by one who had the opportunity to know at first hand the events he has described and has the insight to interpret them correctly.
