Blockade: A Guide to Nonviolent Intervention, by Richard K. Taylor, recounts the 1971 campaign in which a group of Americans organized a “nonviolent fleet” of canoes and kayaks to disrupt Pakistan-bound shipments from East Coast ports. Their aim was to protest U.S. military support for Pakistan’s dictatorship during the mass atrocities in East Bengal (now Bangladesh). Blending first-hand narrative with historical context, Taylor presents both a compelling account of a daring act of civil resistance and a practical guide for those committed to principled, peaceful activism.
