Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Presenting alternative methods of conflict resolution, this examination of the philosophy of peace presents nonlethal weaponry as a solution to the destructiveness of war. Conventional lethal weapons and weapons of mass destruction evolved into an unprecedented 900 billion dollar a year defense industry. This industry and its war makers have taken the lives of an estimated 170 million human beings in this century. A new approach appropriate to the new world order must be found. This study provides a historical analysis of weapons and forces in this century and traces the development of nonlethal technologies and weapons. It is the very first work to present nonlethal weaponry in the framework of recognizable scenarios based on current world events that show the applicability of current available nonlethal weapons and technology to serve as a force to be reckoned with in a highly politicized world. Morehouse argues that nonlethal weapons and technology could and should become forces for peace in the 21st century.

I actually enjoyed reading this book. The author gave several examples of less than lethal weaponry. I highly recommend this book.

After reading Psychic Warrior I felt as if David Morehouse was more then just an author - it was if he was one/all of us (since that bullet could have hit anyone)- and now I'm wanting very much to read "Nonlethal Weapons" because I believe this author has been given quite a gift! Yet at this price very few will ever be able to read it - and if there's anyone out there reading this I need to find a used copy so I can be one of the lucky ones to view Morehouse's thoughts & feelings.

A great book, although technically out of my league. I did enjoy the philosophical approach to the establishment of current global military and indistrial conditions, as well as the fictional introduction of the non-lethal weapons into the battlefield. It was a difficult subject, but the author did a great job of writing it so that all of us could follow the logic and the dream. If you want the world to change its waring ways then this book is a grand start.

I recently listened to the author lecture at a Carmel, California bookstore and was facinated by his intellect and wisdom which seemed to be without limits. To be perfectly honest, he didn't recommend this book himself. He jokingly referred to it as a "technological sleeper" wroght with historical analysis and theory. He even balked at the price. However, I was so intrigued by his manner that I couldn't help myself, I ordered it. It is highly philosophical, theoretical and analytical all in one work. I have no technical background, I'm an artist and school teacher, but I found the book easy to read. It is an inspiring work, especially since it was written by a man who once spent his life as a soldier. Buy this book and catch a hopefull glimpse into the future of conflict resolution, and then do what you can to help make what he says a reality.
Rated by buyers -
Dynamic read by an obviously well read and very concerned former military officer. Deeply philosophical book where a controversial subject is approached with the language of a poet and outlook of a shaman. Morehouse addresses the military industrial complex in a manner far removed from conventional warriors--a must read.
