It's the first in-depth collection of international documents of protest

There have been many books written on protesting and civil liberties, but few with the breadth and strength of VOICES OF PROTEST: DOCUMENTS OF COURAGE AND DISSENT which captures the writings of Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., Socrates, Muhammad Ali, Ronald Reagan and other major voices under one cover. It's the first in-depth collection of international documents of protest, is organized into seven main subject categories for quick reference, and is an excellent pick not just for high school to college-level collections strong in civil rights and social issues, but for the general interest lending library, as well.
