The Power of Nonviolence, written by Richard Bartlett Gregg in 1934
and revised in 1944 and 1959, is the most important and influential
theory of principled or integral nonviolence published in the
twentieth century. Drawing on Gandhi's ideas and practice, Gregg
explains in detail how the organized power of nonviolence
(power-with) exercised against violent opponents can bring about
small and large transformative social change and provide an
effective substitute for war. This edition includes a major
introduction by political theorist, James Tully, situating the text
in its contexts from 1934 to 1959, and showing its great relevance
today. The text is the definitive 1959 edition with a foreword by
Martin Luther King, Jr. It includes forewords from earlier
editions, the chapter on class struggle and nonviolent resistance
from 1934, a crucial excerpt from a 1929 preliminary study, a
biography and bibliography of Gregg, and a bibliography of recent
work on nonviolence.
