The Essential Gandhi: An Anthology of His Writings on His Life, Work, and Ideas

The editor invaded this book. I barely got through the first chapter because it felt so man-handled; molested, even. Th editing felt like such an insult to the idea of Gandhi. Gandhi wrote and spoke in the moment; that was how he practiced truth. I forget who edited this, but whoever did claimed to be an expert in Gandhi. If he was such an expert, how could he bring himself to do the exact opposite of what Gandhi strived to do? It was simply blasphemous.
I'd prefer to read Gandhi's "My experiments with the truth" in Gandhi's own words, just as he wrote it and as he intended to share it.
