This is an excellent book to start a discussion about how non-violent tactics can be used to achieve peace and justice. A must read. Some important points;
The most successful non-violent campaigns require training and discipline.
Terrible situations such as military dictatorships require powerful non-violent campaigns for success.
Even if non-violent campaigns fail to achieve their stated objectives, they have positive results.
Even if violence achieves its stated goal, it has bad consequences.
Non-violence can work even in the most awful circumstances, such as Nazi Germany.
Meditation is an important component of non-violent training.
