This revised edition brings to a close the fascinating life story of Jayaprakash Narayan, one of the last outstanding moral and political figures who carried forward Gandhi’s legacy of non-violent mass struggle and village self-sufficiency into post-Independence India. The biography vividly illustrates JP’s infinite capacity for reflection and change, working relentlessly as he did for issues as varied as the freedom struggle, panchayati raj, worker’s rights, and collective self-help.
