He regarded secrecy as the enemy of freedom-not only the freedom of India but the freedom of man. He exposed even the innermost personal thoughts which individuals usually regard as private. In nearly a half-century of prolific writing, speaking, and subjecting his ideas to the test of actions, he painted a detailed self-portrait of his mind, heart, and soul.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Gandhi was a unique person, a great person, perhaps the greatest figure of the last nineteen hundred years. And his words have been preserved as they came from his mouth and pen.\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-- Louis Fischer\u003cbr\u003e\n      From the Inside Flap      \u003cbr\u003e\nMohandas K.
