All dictatorships are baked from the same basic ingredients: corruption, nepotism, mismanagement, social injustice, violence, and fear. So why do people choose to go along with them?
The book, Blueprint for Revolution, written by Srdja Popovic, offers a comprehensive guide on how to effectively utilise nonviolent revolutionary tactics to bring about social transformation.
Revolution: Not the violent kind: those usually end up soaked in the blood of innocent people. And not the type carried forth by a small group of zealots: if you wonder how those work out, curl up with a good biography of Lenin.
Instead, this is a book about the kind of movements that are now sweeping through so much of the world, from Cairo鈥檚 Tahrir Square to Occupy Wall Street.
It鈥檚 a book about the revolutions launched by ordinary people who believe that if they get together and think creatively, they can topple dictators and correct injustices.
