Louis Fischer

Louis Fischer was a foreign correspondent and analyst of world affairs who worked in Europe and the Soviet Union.

His early works on the Soviet Union were criticized for apologism and denying the Ukraine famine.

Fischer later shifted focus to India, visiting Gandhi in 1942 and 1946.

This experience formed the basis for his biography of Gandhi, which reflects his admiration for the Indian leader.

Fischer's writing style and perspective were shaped by his journalistic background and personal interactions with Gandhi, resulting in a sympathetic portrayal that some readers find engaging while others critique as lacking objectivity.
