Nonviolence can and should be a technique for overcoming social injustice and ending wars, he asserts, which is why it is the preferred method of those who speak truth to power. <br><br><i><u>Nonviolence</u></i> 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 &#8220;dangerous&#8221; idea, and asks such provocative questions as: Is there such a thing as a &#8220;just war&#8221;? Could nonviolence have worked against even the most evil regimes in history?<br><br>Kurlansky draws from history twenty-five provocative lessons on the subject that we can use to effect change today. He shows how, time and again, violence is used to suppress nonviolence and its practitioners&#8211;Gandhi and Martin Luther King, for example; that the stated deterrence value of standing national armies and huge weapons arsenals is, at best, negligible; and, encouragingly, that much of the hard work necessary to begin a movement to end war is already complete. It simply needs to be embraced and accelerated.<br><br>Engaging, scholarly, and brilliantly reasoned, <i>Nonviolence</i> is a work that compels readers to look at history in an entirely new way. This is not just a manifesto for our times but a trailblazing book whose time has come. 7166 12 9 2006 Nonviolence: 25 Lessons from the History of a Dangerous Idea (Modern Library Chronicles) total:158|5:63|4:54|3:33|2:6|1:2| 158 644 346 37 5 2 false false Thu Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 17 21:22:33 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 08 04:38:30 -0700 2008
The history of non-violence is unrepresented in our educational system. In fact, it is quite the opposite: our educational system presents history almost entirely as a progression of violent acts.
