5.0 out of 5 stars Courageous, well researched and readable., 21 Aug 2003
By F. S. Harte "jcayyi" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To write a book about nonviolence in the wake of 9/11 takes a rare sort of intellectual bravery. But Schell, who spent more than a decade researching and writing the book, pulls no punches. "In a steadily and irreversibly widening sphere, violence, always a mark of human failure and a bringer of sorrow, has now also become dysfunctional as a political instrument," he writes.

This is more than a book supporting pacifism. Schell does not argue against military intervention per se. Rather, his thesis is that military power is not only becoming an increasingly ineffective political tool, but one that creates more problems than it solves.

This is an important, accessible book, that will no doubt join the works of Paul Kingsnorth and Naomi Klein as one of the 'must reads' for those involved in the anti-globalization movement.
