Review: The Lessons of Nonviolence: Theory and Practice in a World of Conflict

User Review  - Rick - Goodreads

This book is okay, with tons of information about how to be in a nonviolent movement and stories of people's experiences in such. But there was more information than I needed to know. Read full review
