Twenty-one years ago, at a friend's request, a Massachusetts
professor sketched out a blueprint for nonviolent resistance to
repressive regimes. It would go on to be translated, photocopied,
and handed from one activist to another, traveling from country to
country across the globe: from Iran to Venezuela where both
countries consider Gene Sharp to be an enemy of the state to
Serbia; Afghanistan; Vietnam; the former Soviet Union; China;
Nepal; and, more recently and notably, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen,
Libya, and Syria, where it has served as a guiding light of the
Arab Spring. This short, pithy, inspiring, and extraordinarily
clear guide to overthrowing a dictatorship by nonviolent means
lists 198 specific methods to consider, depending on the
circumstances: sit-ins, popular nonobedience, selective strikes,
withdrawal of bank deposits, revenue refusal, walkouts, silence,
and hunger strikes. From Dictatorship to Democracy is the
remarkable work that has made the little-known Sharp into the
world's most effective and sought-after analyst of resistance to
authoritarian regimes.
