An autobiography : the story of my experiments with truth

by Mohandas Gandhi, Mahadev Desai, Sissela Bok

This autobiography details the author's non-violent struggles against colonialism and racism in South Africa and India. Rather than a standard life story, it focuses on a spiritual quest for truth through simple living, dietary practices, and devotion to God.
