Ask HN: What are some good biographies to read?
Again, with a guy like Gandhi you're going to understand better from a frank biography than his autobiography. He was a deeply flawed man in many respects.

The great thing about Gandhi is that he openly recorded his flaws - not many autobiographical writings do that.

Does he talk about he effectively killed his wife by denying her medical treatment? Or his racism?
