The first American publication of these articles by Mahatma Gandhi which culminated in the Quit India Movement and Gandhi's subsequent arrest in 1942.

The articles in My Appeal to the British were collected and edited by Annan Hingorani one month before the fateful meeting of the Indian Congress, and Nehru himself sent the collection to his American publisher just one week before his own arrest with the words: 'These articles are of obvious importance to those who seek to understand events in India'.

First US edition; 8vo (19.5 x 13.5 cm); slight offsetting to endpapers; publisher's yellow cloth, spine lettered in green, typographic dustjacket lettered in green, unclipped, extremities a little frayed, very good; 79, [1]pp.
