M.K. Gandhi, Attorney at Law: The Man Before the Mahatma Hardcover - 2013 - 1st Edition
by Charles R. DiSalvo
From the rear cover
"...a remarkable book about Gandhi's life in South Africa....and...an interesting account of...how he remained truthful in his profession..." --A. Annamalai, Director, Gandhi National Museum "Although Gandhi himself did not write much about his professional career in South Africa . . . we are now fortunate to have a comprehensive and critical assessment of his life as a lawyer there in a remarkable book, M.K. Gandhi, Attorney at Law." --Justice S. Muralidhar, High Court of Delhi "DiSalvo's work is the most important addition to Gandhi literature for quite some time. He is authoritative and captivating on the subject, providing original research that will be indispensable to Gandhi scholars, the legal community, and a more general audience interested in this fascinating history." --Thomas Weber, Politics and International Relations Program, La Trobe University, Melbourne "M.K. Gandhi is a marvelous account of Gandhi's legal practice with a particularly exciting and accurate interpretation of his political philosophy in light of his legal experience. This work fills an important gap in current Gandhi scholarship." --Anthony Parel, Emeritus Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary "Gandhi was reticent about and dismissive of his life as a lawyer. His Autobiography paints a picture of a young, shy, hesitant man unable to articulate the cases of his clients. Charles DiSalvo's erudite account, the first of its kind, of Gandhi's life in law will most certainly change that picture and enable us to understand Gandhi's life in South Africa in a more complete way and to appreciate how his understanding of both structural and procedural aspects of law and jurisprudence contributed to his dealings with the Empire." --Tridip Suhrud, Sabarmati Ashram, Ahmedabad
