This Is an Uprising

This is a history and analysis of non violent protest movements around the world and why they are successful. It's well written, readable, with index, notes and bibliography. Some of the movements included are civil rights protests under Martin Luther King, Gandhi's Salt March, Otpor and the effort to overthrow Slobodan Milosevic in Serbia, and AIDS activists in the US. It's not a quick read, but it's thorough and fascinating.
