4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting Read, 7 Sep 2007
Written by prominent Indian historian this book tells of the last nine hours of Gandhi. Wolpert's historical background allows this to be more that a hagiographical account of Gandhi, instead it shows a man who though principled was not without his flaws. Towards the end he was out of touch with the politics of India, and though ultimately killed by Hindu fundamentalists he was starting to become somewhat of an annoyance to the Congress party. Whilst seen as a saint by most Gandhi's legacy wasn't that simple, it's undeniable that many of his ideas were laudable but he too had an agenda and ultimately it was one the Indian people didn't accept and the partition resulted. The merits and problems of partition could fill volumes and feature little in this novel. Here we see the lives of the main protagonists on that fateful day, the assassin and his lover, the policeman trying to stop him and of course Bapu. Whilst the conclusion is of course known, the path to it, though a pure fiction is still captivating
