Nonviolence

The History Of A Dangerous Idea

BY MARK KURLANSKY

Brief Description:
From the prize-winning, "New York Times" bestselling author comes a provocative history that persuasively argues that even the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II could have been avoided by nonviolent means. Nonviolence is a sweeping yet concise history that moves from ancient Hindu times to present-day conflicts raging in the Middle East and elsewhere. Kurlansky also brings into focus just why nonviolence is a "dangerous" idea, and asks such provocative questions as: Is there such a thing as a "just war"? Could nonviolence have worked against even the most evil regimes in history? Now in paperback.
