Reviews

?Including the rare pictures of Gandhi and King in the book is appealing as it gives the readers the chance to see some of the pictures, which they might not have been able to see otherwise, and it is helpful in understanding that these high-minded ideals were practiced by real human beings. This book can be used in peace studies courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and is an excellent book for anyone interested in the nonviolent resistance of Gandhi the King.?-Peace & Change
