Having these essays on one volume makes it a valuable source of supplemental readings for courses on Gandhi, peace and nonviolence, and conflict studies. Fred Dallmayr, University of Notre Dame Richard Johnson deserves credit for his judicious selections and for persuasively arguing that Gandhian satyagraha is 'the only way to stop terrorism.' This volume assembles for the first time writings both by Gandhi and about Gandhi, the latter by some of the most distinguished experts in the field. In a time ravaged by large-scale violence and unending 'terror wars,' nothing seems more urgent than to be reminded of another possibility: the path of non-violent struggle for justice exemplified by Gandhi.
