In 1893, Gandhi went to South Africa where, by his own account, he was thrown off a train on racial grounds.{{Cite book|title=Essential Gandhi|last=Fischer|first=Louis|publisher=Random House|place=New York|year=1962}} In their scrutiny of the incident and Gandhi's statements thereafter, the authors claim that Gandhi gave divergent accounts of what happened on his journey to Pretoria. Gandhi Under Cross-examination catalogs the incidents that happened around that time and attempts to prove that the train incident never occurred. The authors have claimed that Gandhi lied about the train incident.
