The Power of Non-ViolenceThe Power of Non-Violence

The idea of non-violence (passive resistance) has always seemed beautiful but too good to be true. As a practical proposition, it arouses skepticism and ridicule. But Mr. Gregg is strangely convincing. He marshals the whole weight of contemporary knowledge, and uses the experience of Gandhi, who has employed non-violence methods on a wider scale and with greater success than any other figure in history.
