Well, if you think about it, balanced biographies are very hard to find. For instance, Freedom at Midnight was written by Dominique LaPierre and Larry Collins, but it had a warmer view towards Gandhi, due to it being made with the cooperation of the Indian government at that time. The one run by Indira Gandhi. Newer ones have a much more cynical perspective, whether they are written by Indians or not.
Yeah. A famous recent biography of Malcom X supposedly 'smashed' down his 'myth', and was criticised.
