Top Amazon Reviewer Recommends Jonathan Schell's Unconquerable World And Several Other Books to Prospective Voters in Primaries

Wednesday October 1, 12:46 pm ET

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Robert David Steele, the #1 Amazon reviewer for non-fiction books about national security (#63 over-all), today recommended Jonathan Schell's new book, "The Unconquerable World: Power, Nonviolence, and the Will of the People," as the single most important book of the year in terms of understanding why the current Administration's unilateralist militarism is not only a failed strategy, but an unsustainable one as well.

"The Cheney-Bush regime has become a virtual Reichstag," Steele suggests. "When they called General Wesley Clark on 9-11, as Americans were jumping to a cleaner death away from fire, and said 'pin it on Iraq,' they told us all we need to know about their lack of ethics and their obsession with industrial- era Cold War security paradigms. Schell is not only a breath of fresh air, he understands both the importance of morality and the calculation of social costs in all that we do abroad and at home, and he understands that violence does not work. As Schell himself sums it up: 'Violence is a method by which the ruthless few can subdue the passive many. Nonviolence is a means by which the active many can overcome the ruthless few.'"
