Mohandas Gandhi: Spiritual Leader

by Diane Cook

Overview

Gandhi's use of nonviolence to change his country inspired the world. His work to end 200 years of British rule in his home country of India changed the nation forever, but it also changed the way other people around the world fought for their freedom and human rights. Gandhi's ideas led great people from Martin Luther King, Jr. to the Dalai Lama to use nonviolence to work for change in their own countries. Today, Gandhi is remembered as one of the greatest leaders of all time. Learn about the story of one of the world's most important spiritual and political leaders in Mohandas Gandhi: Spiritual Leader.

Editorial Reviews

11/01/2013
Gr 3–6—Although information about people of importance is indeed provided, the books have insurmountable problems in terms of format and content. Throughout the series, the blocks of text are not easy to follow and the narrative, which is at times in first person and others third person, does not flow well and is often clunky. Potential religious bias is evident in Mother Teresa: "She also believed that all people, born and unborn, have a right to live and be cared for." The uncaptioned illustrations are matched to the texts but can be distracting rather than complementary. No tables of content or indexes are provided in any of the books, pages are not numbered, and only Shakespeare has any kind of chronology.
