Sibley  aBombay:bBharatiya Vidya Bhavan,c1965  ap.383  aThis seminal anthology provides a comprehensive historical and philosophical survey of non-violence as a strategy for social change. Sibley gathers diverse perspectives—from the ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu and the New Testament to the modern revolutionary tactics of Mahatma Gandhi, Henry David Thoreau, and Martin Luther King Jr.
