Item description from seller

(London: George Routledge and Sons 1935). First UK Edition in dustwrapper priced 10s 6d net to the inside flap. Publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to the spine. Some damp-staining to the boards and fading to the spine tips (matching wear to the dustwrapper). Overall a VG (or better) copy. The dustwrapper is in VG+ condition with minor chipping/creasing at the head of the spine. Uncommon in the British first edition especially in dustwrapper. The Power of Non-violence is the most important and influential theory of principled or integral non-violence published in the twentieth century. Drawing on Gandhi’s ideas and practice, Gregg explains in detail how the organised power of non-violence exercised against violent opponents can bring about small and large transformative social change and provide an effective substitute for war. Richard Gregg was a twentieth century pacifist and social philosopher. He was among the first Americans to study with Mohandas Gandhi in India (between 1925 and 1929) and this title has become the essential guide to peaceful protest. It had a huge influence on Martin Luther King, Jr., in the American civil rights movement and inspired many other activists. Gregg’s holistic vision of a peaceful and compassionate world combines non-violence, environmental sustainability, and simple living. Uncommon. Further photographs available upon request.…
