Summary Founded by M.K Gandhi early in his illustrious career, the Natal Indian Congress is one of the oldest political organisations in South Africa. Surendra Bhana has traced its course through the shoals of colonial anti-Asiatic feeling, past the rocks of apartheid and into the surging seas of a new democracy. He has also brought a telescope to bear on the officers and crew who charted that course. The author's thorough research and solid background make Gandhi's Legacy a riveting and highly informative history
