“Nonviolence is not the recourse of the weak but actually calls for an uncommon kind of strength; it is not a refraining from something but the engaging of a positive force,” renowned peace activist Michael Nagler writes. Here he offers a step-by-step guide to creatively using nonviolence to confront any problem and to build change movements capable of restructuring the very bedrock of society. Nagler identifies some specific tactical mistakes made by unsuccessful nonviolent actions such as the Tiananmen Square demonstrations and the Occupy protests and includes stories of successful nonviolent resistance from around the world, including an example from Nazi Germany. And he shows that nonviolence is more than a tactic—it is a way of living that will enrich every area of our lives.

At first glance, this handbook seems to look like just another self-help book for those seeking a way to deal with conflict such as a local bully who is tormenting them in school or at work; but as we all know looks can be deceiving! No doubt those needing a means to deal with such a bully will find help by learning and applying the basic peacemaking skills identified, described and illustrated in Part I; using the nine letters of WE DO PEACE as a reminder of each one. Even if this handbook ended at this point it would still have invaluably served those seeking help in handling conflict in their lives by providing them with an easy way to remember the nine basic peacemaking skills needed to resolve one-on-one disputes in a rational, non-violent way. The authors introduce us to WeDoPeace Communities, their transformative model comprised of two components for achieving a world without violence. The first component being WeDoPeace101, a school system-wide package of grade specific programs that teach and train all K-12 students the basic skills of peacemaking. The second component is a community-wide network of WeDoPeace Teams, comprised of qualified peacemakers available to assist residents whenever they need help in resolving conflicts arising in their homes. schools, neighborhoods and workplaces. Conflict is normal; Violence is not ! Conflict can be resolved without violence if we know how to do peace. "Achieving A World Without Violence: The WeDoPeace Handbook" is a personal self-help book of peacemaking skills for those wishing to be able to confront and resolve their own conflicts and have peace in their lives. It is based upon well proven and documented conflict resolution principles and programs. At the same time it presents readers with both a vision and a plan of action as to how they can scale up the use of these basic peacemaking skills in their own communities and in all societies; ultimately achieving a world without violence.
