The Law of Love and the Law of Violence

This treatise expresses and explores a philosophy that has inspired Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and countless others. Written just before World War I, it examines the conflicts within and among nations and articulates Tolstoy's famous dictum that it is morally superior to suffer violence than to do violence.
