[Sword That Heals]
THE SWORD THAT HEALS
By George Lakey

When state-sponsored violence meets nonviolent people power, which one wins? As George Lakey shows in this passionate and well researched piece, it's nonviolence that tends to win hands down. Originally written as a rebuttal to the Ward Churchill screed "Pacifism as Pathology," this booklet is filled with recent real-world examples of nonviolent victories.
