Tracing nonviolence from ancient India to modern-day conflicts, Kurlansky reveals it as a transformative force, not just a state of mind. He challenges the notion of "just wars", shows how violence suppresses nonviolent movements, and outlines 25 lessons we can apply to create real change today. This sweeping, provocative work compels us to rethink history and reckon with nonviolence's radical potential.
