Gene Sharp, author of Gandhi Wields the Weapon of Moral Power (1960) and From Dictatorship to Democracy (1993), speaks here about his life�s passion and work.

Sharp has walked what he talks for decades. As a young man, he was sentenced to two years in prison for civil disobedience during the Korean War.

Sharp states, �There is nothing weak about a technique of struggle which can take the legitimacy away from a repressive government; which can produce a defiant population uncontrollable by the police and military forces sent to repress them. There is nothing weak about paralyzing an economic system.�
