The Mahatma's Shadow

<p><strong>The world knows the saint. This is the story of the man who lived in his shadow.</strong></p><p>Forget the statues the holidays and the sanitized history. <em>The Mahatma's Shadow</em> is a relentless unflinching look at Mohandas Gandhi as you've never seen him before: a brilliant strategist a flawed father and a moral absolutist whose unwavering principles came at a staggering cost.</p><p>From the sun-scorched plains of South Africa where a young Gandhi fights not for equality but for a higher place in a segregated society to the inner sanctums of his ashram where he conducts bizarre and disturbing experiments on his young female followers to test his own purity this is a story of profound contradictions. It is a tale of a man who would sacrifice his own family for his vision whose rigid advice to the Jews of Nazi Germany revealed a dangerous detachment from reality and whose political genius was matched only by his personal blindness.</p><p>Framed by the modern-day quest of a driven researcher determined to separate the myth from the man <em>The Mahatma's Shadow</em> is a gripping and provocative page-turner that challenges everything you thought you knew about the Father of a Nation. This is not the history you were taught. This is the truth that was left in the dark.</p>
