Civil Disobedience, Nonviolence, and Satyagraha in the Real World

I have been known as a crank, faddist, madman. Evidently the reputation is well deserved. For, wherever I go, I draw to myself cranks, faddists, and madmen.”
Mahatma Gandhi is one of the least understood figures of all time—even among his admirers. In this Annual Gandhi Lecture for the International Association of Gandhian Studies, Mark Shepard tackles some persistently wrong-headed views of Gandhi, offering us a more accurate picture of the man and his nonviolence.
Mark Shepard is the author of Mahatma Gandhi and His Myths, The Community of the Ark, and Gandhi Today, called by the American Library Association’s Booklist “a masterpiece of committed reporting.” His writings on social alternatives have appeared in over 30 publications in the United States, Canada, England, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan, and India.
