A Force More Powerful: A Century of Non-Violent… di Peter Ackerman
Text accompanying the PBS documentary. See also the two-video set by the same name.
An amazing history of events most often absent from standard history, including the phenomenal story of the women of Rossenstrasse: German women who freed their Jewish husbands from the Nazis through days of non-violent protests!
The written publication accompanying the documentary television series of the same name. "This tour de force ... tell[s] how popular movements have used nonviolent weapons to overthrow dictators, obstruct military invaders, and secure human rights in country after country over the past century" (from the back cover).
From the back cover: "... Peter Ackerman, an authority on nonviolent strategy, and Jack DuVall, a veteran writer, tell how popular movements have used nonviolent weapons to overthrow dictators, obstruct military invaders, and secure human rights in country after country over the past century. ... A Force More Powerful depicts how nonviolent sanctions--such as noncooperation, strikes, boycotts, and civil disobedience--can separate brutal regimes from their means of control. It reveals the inside stories of how ordinary people took extraordinary action to end oppression--including the Danes' valiant resistance to the Nazis, Solidarity's defeat of Polish communism, and civic action in Chile to remove a military dictator--and how nonviolent power continues to change the world today, from Burma to the Balkans."… (altro)
