The mature work of one of America's most respected peace scholars and activists, Is There No Other Way follows the legacy of nonviolence from Mahatma Gandhi to the present day. Michael Nagler unveils a hidden worldwide history of leaders and common folks who successfully responded to violence with persuasion, inclusion, and peaceful actions rather than resorting to threats, hatred, and escalating violence. Michael Nagler definitively and eloquently shows that nonviolent action is a proven and effective force against violence and injustice when it is correctly understood and applied. Finally, he explores nonviolent principles in the context of an increasingly violent American society, from school shootings to the Oklahoma City bombing. After reading this book, you will never think of nonviolence in the same way; it's a strategic, effective tactic for creating positive change.

Drawing from the experiences of such figures as Mahatma Gandhi, Michael Nagler describes both the laws of nonviolence and the nonviolent actions of ordinary people, with analyses of events like the Columbine High School shootings. "This is a vital book for us as individuals, as communities and nations, maybe even as a species." - Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
