p.383 This 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. The book is divided into three sections: the foundations of non-violence, non-violence in the face of organized power, and the use of non-violent resistance against war and injustice. Sibley’s editorial goal was to prove that non-violence is not merely "passive" or "weak," but a sophisticated and powerful "quiet battle" that requires immense discipline and strategic planning to dismantle oppressive structures.
