Description

In this fascinating and meticulously researched book, bestselling historian Arthur Herman sheds new light on two of essentially the most universally recognizable icons of the twentieth century, and reveals how their forty-year rivalry sealed the fate of India and the British Empire.

They were born worlds apart: Winston Churchill to Britain’s most glamorous aristocratic circle of relatives, Mohandas Gandhi to a pious middle-class household in a provincial town in India. Yet Arthur Herman reveals how their lives and careers changed into intertwined as the twentieth century unfolded. Both men would go on to lead their nations through harrowing trials and two world wars—and change into locked in a fierce contest of wills that would come to a decision the fates of countries, continents, and in the long run an empire. Here’s a sweeping epic with a captivating supporting cast, and a brilliant narrative parable of two men whose great successes were all the time haunted by personal failure—and whose final moments of triumph were overshadowed by the lack of what they held most dear.
