Warriors of Non-Violence – Ira Saxena

Description

Nine true-to-life stories of ordinary people who joined Gandhi’s non-violent struggle for India’s independence. Drawn from accounts recalled by the author’s mother, they follow men and women wrestling with personal doubts and social pressure as they find the courage to stand up to British rule — and to face their fear of death.

A moving introduction to the freedom movement and the power of satyagraha for young readers, by Ira Saxena.
