"Senior scholar at the Albert Einstein Institution of Boston, Massachusetts Gene Sharp and his team of like-minded researchers apply 50 years of history, academics, and practical experience to present Waging Nonviolent Struggle: 20th Century Practice and 21st Century Potential, a meticulous accounting of how nonviolent methodologies can combat dictatorships, war, genocide, and oppression. Waging Nonviolent Struggle is particularly valuable in its use of logic and close analysis of specific historical cases of nonviolent struggle to debunk common myths concerning the practice.

The Yellow Star: The Legend of King Christian X of Denmark
Carme Agra Deedy
2000 Ages: 6-Adult
ISBN: 1561452084
Select Online Source

You may be surprised that this is legend and not fact, but the author includes helpful notes at the end about her research. What is fact is still remarkable: among Nazi-occupied countries, only Denmark rescued the overwhelming majority of its Jews through a swift and cooperative effort. Of the 500 Jews who were deported to a camp, all but 51 survived due in large part to the Danish government's intercession on their behalf.
