This unique book brings to light the little-known, but
powerful roles that civil resistance has played in national liberation
struggles throughout history. The story that emerges is a compelling one of the
agency of thousands and even millions of ordinary people as they used
nonviolent force in the course of struggles against foreign subjugation.
"This very important book establishes beyond doubt
the necessity of recording the history of nonviolent struggles throughout
the world…. The authors' accounts of actual struggles from nearly every
continent demonstrate that we have available experience with powerful ways to
wage conflicts and face problems without violence." —Gene Sharp, Albert
Einstein Institution
