Gandhi & Churchill:
The Epic Rivalry That Destroyed
an Empire and Forged Our Age,
by Arthur Herman (Bantam,
736 pp., $30)
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
ARTHUR HERMAN clearly believes in being provocative: His best-known book is titled How the Scots Invented the Modern World. This one has as its subtitle The Epic Rivalry That Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age, which is so outlandish that it may put off readers; and that would be a pity, since Herman has worked hard and his book contains much interesting matter, forcefully presented. Moreover, the subject itself is compelling.
