I wish to acknowledge
- My students in Peace and Conflict Studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Ft. Wayne (IPFW) who have taken courses with me over the past fifteen years, especially the students in my Honors seminars on Gandhi. They know that a writer must be clear about his/her audience. As I worked on this book, I have always had these thoughtful, inquisitive, and creative students in mind as my audience par excellence.
- My wife Teresa and our (still at home) children Andrea and Ian, who were patient, gracious, and forgiving during the work on this book for a longer time than any of us had anticipated.
- Douglas Allen, the series editor, who pored over the book and made substantive suggestions for improvements.
- Jason Hallman of Lexington Books, who was quite helpful and thoroughly professional.
- Mahendra Kumar, editor of Gandhi Marg, who began coediting this book with me but who, unfortunately, was not able to continue. I am grateful for our discussion of this project in New Delhi in 2000 and for our collaboration in the initial stages of the writing.
- Sue Dirrim, secretary in Modern Foreign Languages at IPFW, who is the best proofreader I have ever met; Fred Jehle, retired professor of Spanish and computer wizard, who kept helping me solve computer problems; and Pam Zepp, the Microsoft expert on our campus, who saved me from the morass of headers and footers and even claimed to enjoy it.
