A Force More Powerful: A Century of Nonviolent Conflict explores how popular
movements have battled entrenched regimes or military forces with weapons
very different from guns and bullets. Strikes, boycotts, and other actions
were used as aggressive measures to battle opponents and win concessions.
Petitions, parades, walkouts and demonstrations roused public support for
the resisters. Forms of noncooperation including boycotts and civil
disobedience helped subvert the operations of government. And direct
intervention in the form of sit-ins, nonviolent sabotage, and blockades
frustrated many rulers' efforts to suppress people.
