Publisher Comments:

Howard Zinn's cogent defense of civil disobedience, with a new introduction by the author. In this slim volume, Zinn lays out a clear and dynamic case for civil disobedience and protest, and challenges the dominant arguments against forms of protest that challenge the status quo. Zinn explores the politics of direct action, nonviolent civil disobedience, and strikes, and draws lessons for today.

Ive heard Howard speak, and his writings are extensions of his word, excellent, to think there is more than meets the eye, when considering our place in the world, we have been given a gift of freedom and democracy, but that does'nt mean we don't have to fight for it, learn about it and test the limits, live Howard exorts live to the fullest and pass on a better world
