I had far too much to say about this book. So I had to post it here.

Nonviolence is such an interesting concept but this book was overly simplistic in explaining its execution. It relies heavily on the notion that oppressed people should remain nonviolent despite the enormous personal costs (rather than addressing the violence of the oppressor). While violence should always be avoided where possible, there is also dignity in active resistance. Would have been good to work through case studies in more detail and address some common counterarguments. Also not as exciting a read as hoped! I suspect there are more sophisticated books on this topic out there.

Good introduction to the history of non-violence. Definitely shouldn’t be the last book one reads but it gave me a lot of places to look for inspiration.

Seriously a great read for anyone who takes the ideas of non-violence seriously.
