Blueprint for Revolution: how to use rice pudding, Lego men, and other non-violent techniques to galvanise communities, overthrow dictators, or simply change the world

High quality book. It’s quickly become one of my favorites. Applicable lessons that you can really use every day.

Deep insights, bringing an essential message but in a palatable manner. How inspiring, how honest, how clear. This is a must read, not just for people wanting to start a revolution, but for any true human being, because it is essentially about being truly human. Thank you, Srdja!

It's just a brilliant read. This can empower basically anyone who wants to make positive changes in his/her community but has been thinking their particular context is paralyzing them.

Many of us are more motivated lately to become politically active, and this little book has many helpful insights into such work. Very engaging and well worth the read.

Delivered and read as promised

To all Democrats: please read this book!

I have never enjoyed reading a book more than Blueprint for Revolution. This book rocked my world! It inspired me to drive change and make mischief in small but meaningful ways. The sense of humor combined with simple and powerful demonstrations of dissent - brilliant stuff.I've recommended this book to everyone I know and can't say enough good things about it. I'm even considering a career change after reading this.

this book has changed my insight to the world and has helped motivate me to activise for the rights of others. it has given me what i now think of as vital knowledge on how non violent movements work and how they work to bring struggles to an end. i believe i will be thinking about this book for years to come.

This book should be read by anyone needing to topple a dictator in their country, to someone wanting to save the village duck pond. It is a very serious book about how to manage a revolution or protest. Anyone wanting to campaign about anything should begin here. If activists read this book before marching about and waving placards they will save a lot of trouble for themselves and everyone else They are more likely to succeed in their aim too. From the point of view of a not yet activist, the book gave me insight into why some revolutions around the world have succeeded while other failed, which is a new way of looking at world politics. For a very serious book, the tone is as light as air. It is extremely easy to read and enjoyable for what might have been a very dull subject. It has also inspired me to help someone in an unpleasant situation at work because it gives a clear indication of how to prepare, plan and move towards a goal without being too earnest or worthy. I recommend the book whole heartedly to anyone who needs to campaign and I recommend it especially to those unfortunate enough to feel the oppression of dictatorship.

This is a great book, full of ideas for those planning non-party campaigns and insight for those seeking to understand the logic by which campaigns often work. It is a study of non-violent revolutions by someone who was involved in planning one of them (the movement that brought down Milosevic). I think the only limitation of the book is that it is focused on only one part of a successful movement, the creative and fun bit, which is fine but probably worth bearing in mind if you want a "blueprint" which covers - say - campaign media management, fundraising and things like that.

This book was recommended to me be a friend and though a little dubious I found it a great read. It benefits both from offering surprisingly obvious but rarely followed advice (well not by the mainstream political classes anyway) and of being a historical text outlining the upheaval of a group of protesters vying for the return of democracy to their country.

I'd never have read this if i hadnt been reviewing for East Anglian libraries Brave New Reads - but this proved to be an informative and interesting book on peacable ways to make major points. If i ever want to start a revolution I'll revisit this book first

This is an incredible book about how to build a movement and engage people in social change. The stories in this book are easy to relate to and show you that anyone and everyone can be a change maker.Inspiring read that needs more exposure.Get off your bum and change the world, there's nothing stopping you (or me!!)
