Love In Action: Writings on Nonviolent Social Change

This book, introduced by Daniel Berrigan, collects over twenty years of Nhat Hanh�s influential writings on nonviolence, peace, and reconciliation. Reflecting on the devastation of war�from Vietnam to the Persian Gulf�Nhat Hanh speaks, in the tradition of such spiritual and political giants as Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr., of cultivating insight and altruistic love as the basis for effective social action and transformation. He introduces the reader to methods of looking deeply to discover the roots of war in ourselves, in our destructive patterns of living, and in greed and deluded self-interest on a global scale.
