> Kurt Schock compares, along with other examples, the successes of
> anti-apartheid in South Africa and the people power movement in the
> Philippines with the failures of the pro-democracy movement in China
> and the anti-regime challenge in Burma. Unarmed Insurrections looks at
> how these methods promoted change in some countries but not in others,
> and provides insight into the power of nonviolent action.
>
> ?For too long the study of nonviolence has been oddly disconnected
> from the broader study of social movements and revolutions. With this
> smart, admirably empirical book Kurt Schock has joined the two,
> greatly enriching both in the process.? ?Doug McAdam
>
> ?An important contribution to the crucial, but little understood,
> dynamics of nonviolent action.? ?Lester Kurtz
