In this engaging study of Anagarika Dharmapala, uses a rich variety of sources, most importantly Dharmapala diaries, to paint a new portrait of the untiring reformer. The book relates the many facets of the mission of this influential Buddhist crusader as expressed in his zealous effort to reform Buddhism in Sri Lanka, to spread in the world, especially the western world and above all, to gain Buddhist control of Buddha Gaya, the most sacred of the Buddhist sites.
