"Remember that throughout history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a while, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always." It's been seventy-five years since Mahatma Gandhi departed from us. But his life and spirit continue to animate humanity beyond national and international boundaries. His contributions to human development are too great and varied to be forgotten or ignored. The world today recognizes him as one of humanity's most compelling social innovators. Written in the 1920s, Gandhi's autobiography tells of his struggles and his inspirations. It is a powerful and enduring statement of an extraordinary life. In 1999, the book was named as one of the "100 Best Spiritual Books of the 20th Century" by a committee of global spiritual and religious authorities.
