Blueprint for Revolution

A book I absolutely devoured. Written really well with great flow, a pinch of Serbian humor, and many Lord of the Rings references. But mainly it's about global activism, protests, and how to successfully form and run a group for a cause. And the role CANVAS (Centre for Applied NonViolent Actions and Strategies) had/has in that. Srdja gives a ton of examples how nonviolent way is always the way, but this one sealed it for me: “There's a real danger to a movement that becomes violent, and it's that violence makes it hard to tell the good guys from the bad guys.”.

Again, a really great book, and if you are at all interested in activism, I can not recommend it enough.
