Description: Gandhi's Dilemma : Nonviolent Principles and Nationalist Power, Hardcover by Steger, Manfred B., ISBN 0312221770, ISBN-13 9780312221775, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Possibly the most studied political figure of the twentieth century, Mohandas K. Gandhi is frequently portrayed as a seamlessly consistent leader and scholar. Author Steger (Political Science, Illinois State U.), though, paints a different picture in this work. Presented in what Steger hopes to be a careful but critical gaze, he examines the dilemmas of the actual application of political non-violence, primarily intrigued with the battle of moral principle versus political power, and argues that Gandhi had to constantly decide whether to follow his nonviolent principles and risk the failure of an Indian nationalist movement or to seize political power but sacrifice his moral message. Designed neither as a comprehensive biography, nor as a complete survey of Gandhi's political thought, th focuses on the origins, meaning and unfolding of this dilemma as it applied to Gandhi's life.
