Mohandas Gandhi, one of the world's greatest figures has already become legend. In this book Jeanette Eaton shows him as a human being. The author wanted to show you that Gandhi did not grow up in a poor neighborhood, in fact his family was quite well off financially speaking, but Gandhi still changed his life style to that of simplicity and poverty so that he would be able to help those who could choose to live like this. This book was well detailed and went through all of things that you should know about Gandhi and his life. I did not know the amount of good services and deeds that he did until I read this book by Jeanette Eaton. For being the first thing about Gandhi that I have read I found it very educational, and well worth reading.
