That overthrew dictator Slobodan Milosević and established democracy in Serbia - all by avoiding violence and opting for something far more powerful: a sense of humour.

Through examples such as a protest of \u003ci\u003eLego Men\u003c\/i\u003e in Siberia (when flesh-and-blood people would have been shot), and a boycott of cottage cheese in Israel to challenge price inflation, Popovic tells stories of the true and sometimes ingeniously clever ways in which non-violent resistance has achieved its means.\u003cbr\u003e From \u003ci\u003eOccupy Wall Street\u003c\/i\u003e to Tahrir Square, and from \u003ci\u003eNelson Mandela\u003c\/i\u003e to Harvey Milk, the tales Popovic tells are hilarious, accessible, inspiring, at times outrageous, and always about ordinary people achieving extraordinary things.\u003cbr\u003e 'With this wonderful book, Srdja Popovic is inspiring ordinary people facing injustice and oppression to use this toolkit to challenge their oppressors and create something much better.' \u003cb\u003ePeter Gabriel\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48150344859806,"sku":"UBD-9781925106398","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925106398.jpg?v=1786964459","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925106398","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
