This updated and exciting account of these two men traces them from their births (humble and aristocratic) to their deaths, explained in 31 chapters of a chronology of successive years, going back and forth between each specific time period and each man’s activities and statements during those time periods. More importantly, the author meticulously ties in the wider historical events that confronted the actors during each time period. The story covers Gandhi & Churchill’s early years in India (after Gandhi was born in Gujarat, Churchill had spent about three years in his early twenties with the British Army in Poona, Bangalore and Afghanistan), in England (Gandhi’s studies and New Age friends compared with Churchill’s up and down career), in South Africa (their simultaneous participation in the Boer War) and in India (with the non-violence - and violence that led to Freedom at Midnight). The book is especially significant in describing in footnoted detail the politics within their respective countries through the turbulence of two world wars affecting all of Europe, the Middle East and Asia. This history contains fascinating details, with so many facts I did not know about either man, or how the wider history of various events were tied together during that period.Although this book does not explicitly state Churchill’s hidden “Great Game†strategy for Partition that was revealed in the recent film Viceroy House (to deny the Soviet Union a path to the sea), Arthur Herman does say that Churchill at least in 1946 had established a secret communication channel with Jinnah encouraging a separate Pakistan.The book leaves it to the reader to evaluate the long-term significance of results of Gandhi and Churchill’s actions. Herman concludes with, “Taken together their story is an inspiring tribute to the power of human beings to shape their own destiny, and a warning of the dangers of self-delusion and pride. Their story is the great untold parable of the twentieth century.â€I recommend this book, especially as an historical update to what we knew earlier, and to what we still don’t know or accept about human nature.July 2018, henryinflorida@gmail.com
Most of my history knowledge pertains to European and US history. By interweaving the "modern" history of India with the history of the British Empire, the author gave me familiar information to provide a foothold as I wandered into Indian history. It's a well-written story and accessible.
A very fine dual biography. Those wishing to learn more about the founding of modern India and Pakistan and the withering away of the British Raj are encouraged to buy and read this book.Churchill and Gandhi are giant personalities of the first half of the last century, with their political and moral acts still echoing in today's world. Dr. Herman writes with authority, balance and insight while explaining the motivations of these two inspirational leaders--both having serious flaws and blind spots--who were so at odds for several decades over the future of the British Empire and, more specifically, the fate of its subjects on the subcontinent.
This book reveals the history of Gandhi and Churchill and their unique historical roles without 'taking sides.' There were many competing cultural and political dimensions to these unique men who were at the center of the ferment in their very different planets.
Herman offers impressive but not dry scholarship about these two world figures. He really goes into the historical background and shows how the different early experiences of India (and other areas of the world, like South Africa) shaped the worldviews of both Churchill and Gandhi, and how they would later clash.
A good book about two famous people who lives crossed similar paths and both interesting in their own right.
I never felt I got to know either man personally, just a n historical summation of them . I wanted to know what made them tick...why they made the decisions they did. This was more of a list of what they did
