Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mahatma Gandhi started his first all-India movement against British colonial rule a century ago. Winston Churchill was, and continued to be, unimpressed by Gandhi's efforts. It has been fifty years since Churchill's passing, and he is still one of the most discussed historical figures in many areas of the world, including England and the United States. During his life, Winston had obtained honor in several areas as he was a historian, politician, statesman, parliamentarian, journalist, soldier, and painter. Even with all his accomplishments, he still is a man who does not often receive the credit he deserves. Part of the reason for this is because it is so hard to grasp the many areas of Churchill's life, especially when looking at the length and accomplishments of his political career. Mohandas Gandhi bent his small frame and reached for the ground. Supporting himself on the long pole he carried, his layers of loose white robes flapping gently in the breeze, he scooped a handful of natural salt from the dry earth. Lifting it, grains spilling from his hands, he looked an oddly insignificant figure. But the title Mahatma meant a man revered, a sage, a holy person. His body may look frail, but it was filled with strength. And so was his mind.

Assassination of An Icon And much more!Many people call Churchill one of the last great historians while others discuss his political career, which is the area of his life he is most known for. His political career spanned from about 1900 and well into the 1940s, which saw him face two wars and varying social changes. In his early years, Winston Churchill wanted to prove he was more than just a son of aristocratic parents. Employing nonviolent civil disobedience, Gandhi led India to independence and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. Just over seventy years from Gandhi's death and India is unrecognizable from the troubled state that saw his death. It has the seventh biggest economy in the world and is closing fast on its former ruler, the United Kingdom.
