The Strategy of Nonviolent Defense : A Gandhian Approach
Overview
Given the way in which the history of nonviolence has been marginalized, relatively few people have a sense of the rich history of nonviolent struggle or realize that it can be systematically planned or applied. Nevertheless, the historical record illustrates that nonviolent struggle is a powerful form of political action. But can it be effective against military aggression? The Strategy of Nonviolent Defense answers this question in the affirmative by first defining the notion of 'social cosmology' - the four mutually reinforcing features that determine the character of any society.
