Gandhi: Portrayal of a Friend

"On the day that Mahatma Gandhi was killed, I arrived in Delhi just an hour and a quarter before the tragedy,... the greatest tragedy since the Son of God died on the cross..."

So begins this compelling account of Gandhi by E. Stanley Jones, world-famous missionary/evangelist to India during forty seething years of struggle. Based on an intimate knowledge and understanding of the man, Jones' revealing interpretation was written in gratitude to Gandhi, who, although they often disagreed, showed him "more of the spirit of Christ than perhaps any other man in East or West."
