This is the first fully annotated edition of the work, and the volume also includes Gandhi's correspondence with Tolstoy, Nehru and others.

Editorial Reviews

'This edition will not only make available Gandhi's 'seminal work' to a new audience; it should also help to further debate about the ideological character of Indian nationalism, that most untypical of movements.' Sunil Khilnani, The Times Literary Supplement
