I found your magazine Nonviolence Today on the web. I'd like to tell you about a work of mine that I'm preparing for the web. It's a book-length manuscript Critique of Nonviolent Politics: From Mahatma Gandhi to the Anti-Nuclear Movement which I wrote in the early '80s while active in California's anti-nuclear movement. I've attached the contents page below.

As I set up my website, I want to make contact with potential readers in the nonviolent community, who may not agree with my thesis, but who might enjoy the read nonetheless.
