Description

<p>Pulitzer Prize winner Joseph Lelyveld, the former executive editor of <em>The New York Times</em>, will visit us to discuss his acclaimed new book, <em>Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle with India</em>. This stirring book deepens our sense of Gandhi&rsquo;s accomplishments and disappointments while examining the man as one of history&rsquo;s most remarkable self-creations who oversaw a profound social and political transformation in India. It is, says one critic, &rdquo;that rare book that says something new about one of the most familiar figures of modern times.&rdquo; Lelyveld&rsquo;s interest in Gandhi dates back to his tours in India and South African as a correspondent for the <em>Times</em>, where he worked for nearly four dexades. His book about apartheid, <em>Move Your Shadow: South African Black and White</em> won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction.</p>
