Essays on Civil Disobedience

Inexpensive but substantial, this anthology begins with Thoreau's great 19th-century essay and concludes in the present day. Selections include Tolstoy's "I Cannot Be Silent," Bertrand Russell's "Civil Disobedience and the Threat of Nuclear Warfare," and speeches and writings by Gandhi, Emma Goldman, Martin Luther King, Jr. , the Dalai Lama, Andrei Sakharov, and many others.
