From Dictatorship to Democracy : A Guide to Nonviolent Resistance

From Dictatorship to Democracy was a pamphlet, printed and distributed by Dr Gene Sharp and based on his study, over a period of forty years, on non-violent methods of demonstration. Now in its fourth edition, it was originally handed out by the Albert Einstein Institution, and although never actively promoted, to date it has been translated into thirty-one languages. This astonishing book travelled as a photocopied pamphlet from Burma to Indonesia, Serbia and most recently Egypt, Tunisia and Syria, with dissent in China also reported. Surreptitiously handed out amongst youth uprisings the world over - how the 'how-to' guide came about and its role in the recent Arab uprisings is an extraordinary tale. Once read you'll find yourself urging others to read it and indeed want to gift it.Author: Sharp, Gene,author Contributors: Sharp, Gene,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 160 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Edition: Main Published/Release Date: 12 Jan 2012 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Profile Books Ltd Author/Director/Artist: Gene Sharp Dimension (cm): 176x110x14 mm Package Dimension (cm): 13x179x110 mm Item Weight (g): 140 Package Weight (g): 134
