Mohandas K. Gandhi is one of the most inspiring figures of our time. In  his classic autobiography he recounts the story of his life and how he  developed his concept of active nonviolent resistance, which propelled  the Indian struggle for independence and countless other nonviolent  struggles of the twentieth century.
In a new foreword, noted  peace expert and teacher Sissela Bok urges us to adopt Gandhi's  "attitude of experimenting, of tesing what will and will not bear close  scrutiny, what can and cannot be adapted to new circumstances,"in order  to bring about change in our own lives and communities.
