The book traces Gandhi's legacy of mass organizing and nonviolent action through profiles of activists around the world - from Cesar Chavez and Vaclav Havel to Aung San Syu Kyi and Wangari Matthai - who chose nonviolent resistance as the path to change. The book presents dramatic accounts of heroic and visionary responses to war, tyranny, repression and injustice, offering a historical and global context through which students can connect to today's struggles for human rights and freedom.
