This important work probes Gandhi's complex mind and establishes him as an enduring strategist of conflict and change. Gandhi As A Political Strategist is unique in the extensive literature about this remarkable man. Gene Sharp portrays him as neither saint nor Mahatma, but as a shrewd, highly unorthodox political leader of movements for national liberation and social revolution. "An all too rare combination of scholarly precision and readability..."-Coretta Scott King
