Here he offers a step-by-step guide to creatively using nonviolence to confront any problem and to build change movements capable of restructuring the very bedrock of society. Nagler identifies some specific tactical mistakes made by unsuccessful nonviolent actions such as the Tiananmen Square demonstrations and the Occupy protests and includes stories of successful nonviolent resistance from around the world, including an example from Nazi Germany. And he shows that nonviolence is more than a tactic—it is a way of living that will enrich every area of our lives. Read more
REVIEW
I have followed Mr. Nagler and his mentor Eknath Easwaran for many years. Nonviolence is a mental challenge for me. This brings the many strands of the spiritual dimensions of nonviolence together with practical examples of how to focus on the problem and avoid humiliation of either party. I am working to bring these concepts into my life and my thoughts. The creativity demanded is very demanding. Even for such a simple thing as helping my younger daughter resolve school conflicts and low level domestic conflict.
