the forces for the status quo and the forces for change. All the
important events, tactics, and leaders are covered: Women's
suffrage, blockades, IRA hunger strikes, monkey wrenching, Charter
77, the Clamshell Alliance, Rosa Parks, Leo Tolstoy, Martin Luther
King, Lech Walesa, and many more.

underlying assumptions and prevailing thinking of all activists for
change.
