Abstract:
"This guide delves deeply into the motivations of peacemakers to find the skills, traits and values that underlay the methods and strategies of nonviolence. Thirty nonviolent methods are introduced through inspiring stories that reveal how seemingly intractable conflicts were transformed into conditions free from the ravages of violence. This work is highly relevant, practical, innovative, accessible, yet scholarly"--Provided by publisher.
