This was a dense, slow but very informative read. Some people don't like these sort of books but I enjoy to have one that takes some time to get through and that is exactly what this was.

Wolpert was very exacting in his detail and sometimes the result was not very flattering for the Mahatma. Either way, I enjoyed seeing a more human side to this revered historical figure.
