Society has always made heroes out of warriors, but this book celebrates those people who choose nonviolent methods to achieve freedom and justice. The theories behind nonviolent approaches and the various debates surrounding such resistance are discussed in this book, which moves from the beliefs of the Quakers to the 1965 Selma, Alabama, demonstrations that resulted in the deaths of two civil rights workers, to the protesters who resisted the draft during the Vietnam conflict.
