Re: Who is Gene Sharp? (none / 0)

It's noticeable that the books that discuss practical methods appear sold out or much more expensive at the sites ive looked at. either revolutionaries have been buying them, or governments to keep them out of the revolutionaries hands

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Is it out of print? The publisher suggests that it can still be ordered (but not online) for $19.95.

The one on Amazon for such an amazing price was:

"Waging Nonviolent Struggle: 20th Century Practice, 21st Century potential" for 29.00 on his web site
and $442.79 in paperback on Amazon.com.

Good reason to publish with a small publisher, who does publish-on-demand, and sells direct.
Look at the prices for his books on his web site, and how many can be downloaded.
