Venezuela to Russia.
Mr. Sharp has had broad influence on international events over the
past two decades, helping to advance a global democratic awakening.
-- Wall Street Journal
Gene Sharp is perhaps the most influential proponent of nonviolent
action alive. His work has served as a how-to manual for activists
in a swath of countries across Eastern Europe and Asia. -- The
Progressive
Long considered the foremost authority in his field, Sharp has
inspired generations of progressive peace, labor, feminist,
environmental, and social justice activists in the United States
and around the world. -- Stephen Zunes, Huffington Post
Gene Sharp, a retired Harvard researcher, is considered the
godfather of nonviolent resistance. Since the early 1970s, his work
has served as the template for taking on authoritarian regimes from
Burma to Belgrade. -- The Christian Science Monitor
"This unique and highly specialized dictionary by Sharp covers
almost any term or concept that is related to civil resistance,
particularly nonviolent resistance...This volume succeeds in
establishing definitions for the changing language of civil
resistance and will contribute to the creation of a comprehensive
vocabulary for discussions of this topic."--CHOICE
