De impact die Gandhi heeft gehad in de dekolonisatie van India is bijna niet te overschatten. Zijn geweldloze verzet, slimme campagnes en grenzeloze zelfopoffering waren niet alleen invloedrijk in zijn eigen land, maar ook tot ver over de grenzen. In een kranzinnig verhaal wist hij in enkele decennia het Britse juk af te werpen, en India zelfrespect en een eigen identiteit te geven. Maar niet alles lukte: we bespreken het Pakistaanse drama en zijn moeizame relatie met hindoenationalisten. Ook zijn vreemdere eigenschappen en daden krijgen aandacht. Onder de streep is het echter duidelijk: Gandhi was een levende legende.Bronnen voor deze aflevering: Ramachandra Guha, Gandhi: de biografie, De legendarische jaren; Joseph Lelyveld, Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India.

Niet zo lang geleden was Gandhi nog een moderne heilige, zo iemand wiens foto's lichtgaven, waar vriend en vijand van op de knieën vielen. Maar steeds meer mensen zetten hun vraagtekens bij dat smetteloze imago: standbeelden worden beklad, wilde geruchten doen de ronde over vrouwonvriendelijk en racistisch gedrag. Niet dat het klopt, verder, maar ach. Hoog tijd dus voor een opfrisser, want als iemand een positief verhaal verdient, is het wel Gandhi. Deze week het verrassende begin van zijn leven: een decennialang avontuur in Zuid-Afrika, het door en door racistische land dat de leerschool werd van Gandhi als politiek denker.Volg ons op Instagram & TikTokBronnen voor deze aflevering: Joseph Lelyveld, Great Soul: Mahatma Gandhi and His Struggle With India; Ramachandra Guha, Gandhi: de biografie, de jonge jaren.

In November 1944 Franklin Roosevelt won an unprecedented fourth term as president of the United States, despite suffering from heart disease and other medical issues that contributed to his death six months later. In His Final Battle: The Last Months of Franklin Roosevelt (Vintage Books, 2016), Joseph Lelyveld examines the final months of Roosevelt’s life, detailing both his maladies and his accomplishments. This was a momentous period for Roosevelt, as he participated in two summits and several other meetings with his allies to dictate the course of the war and the peace that would follow. Yet while noting both Roosevelt’s deteriorating health and the stress the grueling itinerary imposed on him physically (which was not helped by the travel accommodations of the time), Lelyveld views the claims afterward that his medical problems inhibited his contribution as more often the product of retrospective accounts than reliable contemporary assessments. It was Roosevelt’s desire to finish the task of shaping the postwar peace that led him to run for a final term, even though many of his closest aides believed that the president was unlikely to finish it if he won. This made Roosevelt’s health the great unspoken issue of the election, one that determined the selection of Harry Truman as his running mate and defined how the president conducted his last campaign for office.

In the first episode of this two-part series on FDR, we explored the man, his times, and the unusual circumstances surrounding the 1944 Democratic Convention. We discussed FDR’s legendary poker face, his deteriorating health, the fact that his doctor warned him that he couldn’t survive a fourth term, and his dream to create the United Nations; an organization he hoped would make future world wars impossible. We also discussed the Democratic Party bosses’ successful effort to remove Henry Wallace as Vice President from the ticket in 1944.  But as we said earlier, big questions remained. Could the Allies secure a long-lasting peace in the postwar world? Could the United States work with the Soviet Union? Would the United Nations work? Could FDR achieve his vision despite his failing health? We will explore the answers to these questions on this episode of This American President. Conference of the Big Three at Yalta makes final plans for the defeat of Germany. Here the “Big Three” sit on the patio together, Prime Minister Winston S. Churchill, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Premier Josef Stalin. February 1945.

If we were to do an episode on the entire life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, it would have to be at least a 12 hour series. Instead, we will focus on a short period of his life that is one of the most fascinating—the end of it. This isn’t the FDR of the famous 100 days—the one who captivated the nation by the sheer power of his strength and charisma. Instead, this is the FDR who, after years of leading the nation through depression and war, found himself physically exhausted, racing against his own mortality to build his vision for a new world. The final photograph of President Franklin D. Roosevelt – taken at Warm Springs, Georgia on April 11, 1945 – the day before his death. By then he believed he was working to save the world from future catastrophe. What we will find is a man who appeared to remain the master politician, mentally still at the top of his game, orchestrating events from behind-the-scenes. But those abilities were put to their greatest test when he faced an agonizing dilemma in the realm of world politics—whether to pursue that vision of a new world at the expense of our deepest values and in cooperation with one of the greatest mass murderers in all of history. And all the while, he was physically at his weakest point and was hiding a secret from the American people—a secret that exposed his country to great risk at a critical time. This is the FDR—whose actions were both inspiring and unsettling—who we will explore in this episode of This American President.   Show Notes If you want to learn more about today’s episode, check out the book His Final Battle: The Last months of Franklin Roosevelt by Joseph Lelyveld, Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt by H W Brands, and American Dreamer: A Life of Henry A Wallace by John C Culver and John Hyde.   President Roosevelt, Vice President-elect Truman and Vice President Wallace, November 10, 1944, after the Democratic ticket’s election victory.

Gandhi's impact on his native India is unquestioned, but Pulitzer Prize-winning author Joseph Lelyveld argues the Mahatma's biographers have not sufficiently explored how his 21 years in South Africa shaped his philosophies and strategies. Lelyvled, the former executive editor of The New York Times and author of the new book Great Soul, visits Zócalo to discuss what Gandhi learned in South Africa and how he applied it back home.
