John Haynes Holmes states in his introduction to this revealing work, "This autobiography of Mahatma Gandhi, of India, is a document of the first order of importance as the intimate revelation of the life and thought of a man who must be ranked as one of the supremely great personalities not only of his own but of all time... One may search the pages of history in vain to find any man of any age - religious teacher, military conquerer, political statesman - who has held at one time so vast a power over so many millions of human beings during his own lifetime."
