'Rajmohan is the son of Gandhi's youngest son, Devadas. But he has more to offer than his family background. He is an accomplished biographer, columnist and editor... He has a deeper understanding of the social and political landscape of India, of the cleavages of caste and religion, and of the dynamics of the dominant Congress Party... Rajmohan takes us at a leisurely pace through the broad sweep of Gandhi's personal and public life. His Gujarati background is given its due, as also his London years, his campaigns in South Africa, and his struggles and travels in India.' -Ramachandra Guha, Times Literary Supplement 'Rajmohan Gandhi's weighty, authoritative and comprehensive biography is a great achievement' -- William Dalrymple Financial Times
