"I didn't particularly enjoy Kurlansky's book on nonviolence--although his facts are accurate, they are often incomplete and his tone is snarky throughout. Someone whose introduction to nonviolence is this book is likely to reject the whole business."
"This book is basically the history of nonviolent resistance, starting with ancient Hindu and Confucian beliefs into the modern era. The fascinating part to me is how much of this movement's history is tied in with the Christian church. Great read."
"Great overview of non-violence. Makes me dislike Augustine all the more. The only question I have is about Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps it is just dates, but Kurlansky states that Lincoln would have accepted slavery to keep the Union. However, at one point keeping slavery was on the table for negotiation, and Lincoln said that he could not take back the slaves' freedom. It could be that one was before the Emancipation Proclamation and the other after, but I would have to check the dates."
