A dual biography of two of history's most transformative moral figures, this work chronicles the remarkable parallel lives and ideological kinship of Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi. Martin Green argues with scholarly conviction that the Russian literary giant and the Indian independence leader shared a profound, mutually influential philosophy of nonviolent resistance, spiritual simplicity, and civil disobedience. The book details the extraordinary correspondence between the two men and traces how Tolstoy's radical Christian pacifism directly shaped Gandhi's concept of satyagraha — the force of truth. Written with intellectual rigor and biographical depth, Green presents a compelling case that these two towering figures together forged the modern language of peaceful protest that would reshape the twentieth century.
