Erikson turns his penetrating analytical gaze upon one of history's most transformative figures — Mahatma Gandhi — to uncover the psychic and moral crucible from which the doctrine of militant nonviolence was forged. Gandhi's Truth centres on the Ahmedabad labour dispute of 1918, a pivotal moment in which Gandhi first deployed Satyagraha — the principle of truth-force — on a mass scale, weaving together a meticulous historical account with a profound psychological portrait of a man wrestling with his own contradictions.\n\nErikson, the celebrated developmental psychologist who gave the world the concept of the identity crisis, brings his full intellectual arsenal to bear, illuminating how Gandhi's personal crises, spiritual convictions, and ethical commitments coalesced into a revolutionary method of political action. The result is a work of rare interdisciplinary brilliance — part psychoanalysis, part history, part moral philosophy — that challenges the reader to reconsider the very nature of power, conscience, and human agency. Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award in 1970, this is a biography that does not merely chronicle a life but interrogates the soul of an era, leaving one to wonder whether such moral courage could ever be summoned again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203249414363,"sku":"2026200015796-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bb94e344-23e1-4d5f-be55-5f0221daeef8.png?v=1788146394","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015796-secondhand-gandhis-truth-on-the-origins-of-militant-nonviolence","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
