Maybe an extended period of idleness is affecting my reading ability, but I found Thurman's style somewhat obtuse at times. Granted, he was writing in the early 60's, and so when he references current events I have to remember my recent history. However, the final chapter, on Reconciliation, had some very good material on non-violence that will be worth a second read.
Absolute thought provoking, the chapters on Suffering, Prayer, and Reconciliation were amazing, I will search out further titles by this gentleman whose was one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s mentors.
