Mahatma Gandhi and Winston Churchill defined an era of the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century through their rivalry, as Churchill endeavored to hang on to the British Empire while Gandhi tried to end it. This class elaborates on this rivalry as described in a book of the same title by Arthur Herman, who posits that these two protagonists had more in common than the world realized.
