An absorbing examination of how Mahatma Gandhi influenced Martin Luther King Jr., Threads of Peace – How Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Changed the World is a riveting read. Besides the main story, Krishnaswami succeeds in drawing in the reader through sidebars that offer a glimpse into her own personal history connection to the narrative she unfolds, vignettes into some of the personalities involved as well as the sites and colours of the respective movements.
