      abstract = {Examines the relevance of nonviolent tactics to current  debates about political action and political thought.  Nonviolent political action has played a significant role  in achieving social and political change in the last  century. Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King were  prominent proponents of nonviolence. Nonviolent political  action or civil resistance has also been central to  toppling communist regimes in Eastern Europe and to  pro-democracy popular movements in Serbia, Georgia and the  Ukraine. By scrutinizing the theories behind nonviolence,  such as the role of the state, the rule of law and the  nature of social and political power, Atack establishes  nonviolence as a credible theme within Western political  thought -- Publisher's description.},
