Hey folks,

I just finished up reading Mark Kurlansky's book "Nonviolence: Twenty-Five Lessons from the History of a Dangerous Idea". It was an engaging look at nonviolence through history and had a pretty interesting take on so called "good" wars (i'd imagine Kurlansky's view on the revolutionary war and WW2 would ruffle a few feathers if it gets more attention). The book was enlightening and also approached nonviolence from a pragmatic point of view, demonstrating how and when it's been successful and (unfortunately more frequently) where violence has not worked. I definitely recommend it, it was a quick and interesting read.

Pick it up or get it from a library!
