In their well-written, often moving book, Peter Ackerman and Jack DuVall deliver a compelling argument for the efficacy of nonviolent resistance to tyranny. Legions of poets and preachers have rhapsodized about the indomitability of the human spirit in the most adverse circumstances. This book explains how profoundly history has been shaped by men and women who had the courage to act for a cause greater than their self-interest, and thus, could not be conquered by the most ruthless, well-armed adversaries.
The book is for anyone who believes that power only flows from the barrel of a gun.
