Ramachandra Guha's concluding volume traces Gandhi's life from 1914, when he came back from South Africa, to his assassination in 1948, drawing on more than sixty archival collections, including private papers of his associates. Guha traces the great campaigns, from the Salt March to Quit India, Gandhi's struggles for Hindu-Muslim harmony and against untouchability, his clashes with B. R. Ambedkar and Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the trauma of Partition, and the cost of his public life to his wife, Kasturba, and son Harilal.
