Mahatma Gandhi needs no introduction. An icon revered by millions across the world, he led a country to freedom through methods and principles never used before.
What was it about Gandhi that made him an icon? How did a frail, ordinary man bring about a revolution? And how did he manage to get the poor, the working class, the elite and the intelligentsia to work together?
The author also shows that Gandhi understood the power of emotional appeal, and used sincerity rather than empty rhetoric to maximize the effect of whatever he said.
