<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>This book mounts perhaps the most impressive argument ever made that there exists a viable and desirable alternative to the continued reliance on war. </b> -<i>The New York Times</i> <p/> At times of global crisis, Jonathan Schell's writings have offered important alternatives to conventional thinking. Now, as conflict escalates around the world, Schell gives us an impassioned, provocative book that points the way out of the unparalleled devastation of the twentieth century toward another, more peaceful path. <p/> Tracing the expansion of violence to its culmination in nuclear stalemate, Schell uncovers a simultaneous but little-noted history of nonviolent action at every level of political life. His investigation ranges from the revolutions of America, France, and Russia, to the people's wars of China and Vietnam, to the great nonviolent events of modern times-including Gandhi's independence movement in India and the explosion of civic activity that brought about the surprising collapse of the Soviet Union. <p/> Suggesting foundations of an entirely new kind on which to construct an enduring peace, <i>The Unconquerable World</i> is a bold book of sweeping significance.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A lucid survey of alternatives to warfare...Building a case for civil noncooperation, Schell writes with discipline and urgency."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Author of groundbreaking works, including <i>The Fate of the Earth, The Village of Ben Suc</i>, and <i>The Gift of Time</i> (0-8050-5961-X), <b>Jonathan Schell</b> is a regular contributor to<i> Harper's, Foreign Affairs</i>, and <i>The Nation</i>.
