I wish every young person in this country would read it for its wisdom and inspiration. ”--Howard Zinn, author, A People's History of the United States "Shows us the essential role that nonviolent direct action has played throughout US history and especially in this new century. We are deeply fortunate to have Staughton and Alice Lynd guiding us so wisely toward the nonviolent thought and tactics that can and will establish equal justice for all." --Michael G. Long, editor, Christian Peace and Nonviolence: A Documentary History"An essential piece of US history. The Lynds are to be commended for being so diligent in their research. They are even more to be commended and honored for their personal commitment to social justice." --Dan Salerno, in lifesomethings: thoughts on faith, God, and social justice Nonviolence in America is a comprehensive compilation of primary sources that document the history of nonviolence in the United States fr
