In this fascinating and meticulously researched book, bestselling historian Arthur Herman sheds new light on two of 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 family, Mohandas Gandhi to a pious middle-class household in a provincial town in India. Yet Arthur Herman reveals how their lives and careers became intertwined as the twentieth century unfolded. Both men would go on to lead their nations through harrowing trials and two world wars—and become locked in a fierce contest of wills that would decide the fate of countries, continents, and ultimately an empire. Gandhi & Churchill reveals how both men were more alike than different, and yet became bitter enemies over the future of India, a land of 250 million people with 147 languages and dialects and 15 distinct religions—the jewel in the crown of Britain’s overseas empire for 200 years.Over the course of a long career, Churchill would do whatever was necessary to ensure that India remain British—including a fateful redrawing of the entire map of the Middle East and even risking his alliance with the United States during World War Two.Mohandas Gandhi, by contrast, would dedicate his life to India’s liberation, defy death and imprisonment, and create an entirely new kind of political movement: satyagraha, or civil disobedience. His campaigns of nonviolence in defiance of Churchill and the British, including his famous Salt March, would become the blueprint not only for the independence of India but for the civil rights movement in the U.S. and struggles for freedom across the world.Now master storyteller Arthur Herman cuts through the legends and myths about these two powerful, charismatic figures and reveals their flaws as well as their strengths. The result is a sweeping epic of empire and insurrection, war and political intrigue, with a fascinating supporting cast, including General Kitchener, Rabindranath Tagore, Franklin Roosevelt, Lord Mountbatten, and Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. It is also a brilliant narrative parable of two men whose great successes were always haunted by personal failure, and whose final moments of triumph were overshadowed by the loss of what they held most dear.

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.”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
