"The mind of America must be forever free." - Pres. Calvin Coolidge
From the Bill of Rights to contemporary direct action tactics utilized by the Ruckus Society, this handbook outlines a brief history of social protest. Helpful resources and handy information are included, as well as tips on everything from getting arrested to manipulating the media. New chapters include electronic privacy and encryption, and lessons learned from post-millenial actions.
As this work shows, non-violent civil disobedience is an American tradition, an essential element of a working democracy.
