At times of global crisis, Jonathan Schell's books have presented influential alternatives to conventional, dead-end thinking. His classic best-seller, THE FATE OF THE EARTH, was hailed as "an event of profound historical moment" by the New York Times. Now, as the world order is once more in a state of upheaval, Schell re-enters the fray with a lucid, impassioned, provocative book that points the way out of the unparalleled devastation that marked the twentieth century towards another, more peaceful path. Tracing the unlimited expansion of violence to its culmination in nuclear stalemate, Schell uncovers a simultaneous but little noted history of non-violent action at every level of political life.
