A seminal work on the power of nonviolent action, this classic book
outlines, in a systematic way, the elements involved in
successfully opposing military dictatorships by passive means. This
work shows how nonviolent action grows from the fact that all
governments depend on the cooperation, or at least the general
compliance, of the people they govern and in particular on the
loyalty of key institutions. From there, it discusses how, if a
government's base of support in society is eroded, it becomes
increasingly difficult for it to govern, to the point where it can
no longer rely on these crucial institutions of administration,
persuasion, and coercion. This edition also considers historical
evidence, insists on the importance of advance planning and
preparation, and identifies key factors to be taken into account in
devising sound strategies and tactics. Tactics and strategies that
may be adapted for various circumstances are also included.
