by Kathleen Krull Jules ArcherIs resistance un-American? How far should resistance go? Courage and desperation have sparked instances of resistance since the dawn of civilization. Jesus, Thoreau, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King resisted the nonviolent way.

Here are the frightening, inspiring stories of the anti-Nazi, anti-Communist, anti-war, anti-discrimination movements, and the individuals who have faced up to oppressors. “Resistance must begin with the self,” the author concludes—with the courage to say no when everyone expects us to say yes.
