I can't say I knew much about pacifism when I started reading this, and I walked away knowing quite a bit more. I was a little concerned that the book would lean to the more preachy side of things, and was pleasantly surprised it wasn't even a little. This clears up a lot of misconceptions around pacifism, I think (including ones I had). It's a quick read, but I'd recommend it to anyone looking to dip their toes in the pacifist pool.

Although pretty short, it is filled with useful data that helps you decide to become a Pacifist. Violence has never done any good for humankind, and this book is filled with examples that anyone can remember. It invites the readers to take their own point of view in the matter and opens the discussion on what could be going wrong in today's world. One thing is for sure: Violence will take us nowhere.

Its an OK book. Most if not all of this has been covered in more detail by others, such as Sprinkle.
