Now, after a century of unprecedented devastation, it seems humankind is preparing to embark on anoth er cycle of violence. Are we condemned to be in a state of perpetual warfare?Jon athan Schell has consistently been one of the most influential and eloquent voic es in the debate about global warfare and the arms race. His bestseller, The Fat e of the Earth, focussed on the case for nuclear disarmament and may have halped shape two decades of thinking about man?s relationship with agents of destructi on. Now, as the international order is once more in a state of upheaval, Schell has written another provocative book that aims to point the way out of the blood shed of the twentieth century.Schell strives to show how the underlying dynamics of history have often been shaped not by military actions, but by battles for t he hearts and minds of the people. His close re-examinations of the British, Fre nch and Russian revolutions, the collapse of Soviet power in eastern Europe in 1 989, the war in Vietnam and other key moments in history illustrate how all thes e events can be understood in a new way when viewed through the prism of non-vio lence.
