In these lively, readable portraits, author Michael True provides unique insights into the lives and writings of 30 individuals and communities devoted to nonviolent social change. In doing so, he points to heroes and heroines, form the 18th century to the present, who worked to build just, peaceful societies in this country and abroad. These include groups such as Catholic workers in the US, students in China, missionaries in Central America, and the Greenham Common women in England, as well as individuals: Michael Harrington, Joan Baez, Rosa Parks, Thomas Merton, Oscar Romero, and others. Their resistance to injustice offers inspiration to all.
