History Shows:
Winning with Nonviolent Action
Did you know that large nonviolent campaigns go back at least as far as the ancient Romans, whose workers
staged a major walk-out in 494 B. C.? Did you know that several brutal dictatorships and entrenched empires
have been toppled by nonviolent movements? Did you know this has been going on throughout history, all over
the world, by people of different religions and backgrounds? Even governments have engaged in nonviolence.
The first organized nonviolent army was by Muslims!
This book gives short stories of some of the major nonviolent actions that have succeeded. Each page has
separate cases, so pages can be photocopied for history or other social studies classes to enrich understanding
of different peoples and times. Color pictures are included, and it is available in both hard cover and paperback.
It can make excellent birthday and Christmas presents.
Young people can learn about the part of history that war-focused texts tend to overlook. Adults can be educated
with an overview of the broad span of how well nonviolent action has worked in the past. Both can learn the basics of
the history of nonviolent action.
Available in hard cover and paperback from Xlibris. You can peruse excerpts here. For a 30% discount for
libraries, classes, non-profits and resellers, order at 1-888-795-4274 ext. 276.

Gaining Mind of Peace:
Why Violence Happens and How to Stop It
For young people puzzled by warring and violent ways, concepts are explained in simpler language, with stories to
illustrate the points. This is a good peace education resource for both young people and adults who would like a
shorter overview. Because of its format with each chapter starting with a story, explaining a concept, and then
suggesting action applications, it is also well suited for adult book discussion groups. It can make excellent birthday
and Christmas presents.
Review:
"This 172 page book is written for young people. My Peace and Conflict Studies class of high school
sophomores, juniors and seniors found this book very accessible and interesting. We had great discussions
based on the chapter readings, and I am sure the one of the reasons the students left the course with a strong
understanding of nonviolence is because of Rachel MacNair's book. It was easy to get the book adopted by our
public school board."
