Gandhi's Johannesburg, birthplace of Satyagraha - Eric Itzkin (Witwatersrand University Press, 2000)
This informative 100-page book follows Mahatma Gandhi's journeys around Johannesburg at the turn-of-the century, and documents places where he stayed, worked and visited, his brushes with the law, his many friends and colleagues, his influence on fellow residents, and the incident that sparked off his Satyagraha or passive resistance policy. It's full of black and white pictures and illustrations, bringing Gandhi alive and making it easy to follow his movements around the city.
