The Nonviolence Handbook: A Guide for Practical Action von Michael N Nagler
"Nonviolence is not the response of the weak but actually calls for an uncommon kind of strength; it is not refraining from something but the engaging of a positive force," Michael Nagler writes. 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.
I accidentally received two copies of this book in a give away. I am going to send one back.
In a clear and objective style Michael Nagler describes the mindset, dos and don't of nonviolent activism. Nonviolence does not only require courage, willingness to suffer and creative planning, but also and inner attitude of love and respect for your opponent, patience, and careful strategy.

I will definitely read it again and recommend it to friends.… (mehr)

This brief discourse by Michael Nagler stands alone as both an introduction to and a practical handbook for nonviolence and nonviolent action. It also complements John Dear's "The Nonviolent Life" for those wishing to read more but not ready to tackle Gandhi or Gene Sharp.
