It was discussed as a guide for citizen movements and revolutions, focusing on non-violent tactics and strategies, and how they were successfully implemented in Serbia and other parts of the world.

This is one from the vault but it's especially pertinent right now.

Now I remember watching the surgea revolution, the latest one on television and watching a bulldozer go into a parliament building and I thought everybody was pretty brave when I was watching that on TV.

The fact that there are people across the world who watch that movie bringing down the dictator, they get inspired, they come to us, they speak to us, they say oh the Serbs did something really cool against a really bad guy who was convicted or criminal and did so many different things.

I think the bravery is something you mentioned and I don't think we were particularly brave and I think very often in our life we find ourselves in a situation where the situation dictates the rules.

why this book is so much related to my favorite personal bible which is the Lord of the Rings so the hobbits they're the least usual suspects to change the world they are not all they're not wearing the shiny armors they don't know magic and they're just lazy and love to eat and sit at home and smoke pot and I think what made us think that or wish that we can change the world was the same force that was driving for other bargains and I think this is because there was nobody else to do the job.

It's not boring it doesn't have put notes so if you're explaining the academic book don't buy this one but there is an academic research on it and two great American scholars Maria Stefan and Erica Chenovet were looking at the different aspects of non violent struggle they found it up that non violent struggle is twice more likely to succeed over the last 100 of years then the violent struggle.

One of the reasons then I'm getting letters from readers who are coming from a marketing sector and they read looping for revolution is it find this fascinating it was also a necessity rather than the conscious business model thinking.
