At the beginning of the 1930s, historian William L. Shirer was sent to India by the Chicago Tribune to cover the rise of the Independence Movement. During this time Shirer was privileged to observe Mahatma Gandhi as he launched the Civil Disobedience Campaign and to enjoy his personal friendship and confidence.
In this fascinating memoir, Shirer writes perceptively and unforgettably about Gandhi’s frailties as well as his accomplishments. Despite his greatness, Gandhi was the first to admit that he was a human being with his own prejudices and peculiarities: He could be stubborn and dictatorial, yet the magnificence of the man rose above all else.
Gandhi: A Memoir sheds a special light on the man who left such an indelible imprint on India and the world.

I walk away from this book wishing that another person such as Ghandi existed in today’s world. We seem to be growing more divided and seeking shouting and even violent means to achieve the things we want in the world. We miss someone with Ghandi’s passive style of resistance to achieve their goals.
What I liked most was the portions that showed Ghandi’s character. His continual fight for equality for all people including women and Muslims. The humble way that Shirer describes his interactions. Providing him with a train ticket when journalists were banned. Ghandi not speaking at the meetings in the UK. The trek to make salt. Many more.
I look forward to my next book to learn about this wonderfully lived life.
