If We Burn
An award-winning journalist interviews hundreds of participants from a dozen countries to answer why the 2010s mass protest decade — the Arab Spring, Gezi Park, Euromaidan, Hong Kong, Chile — produced the opposite of what protesters demanded. A forensic post-mortem on movement logistics and political outcomes.
The End of Protest
The co-creator of Occupy Wall Street argues that conventional mass protest is broken and proposes eight principles of tactical innovation for the next generation of social movements. Draws on firsthand experience with Occupy's spread to 82 countries to diagnose why logistics-heavy horizontal protests stall.
Blueprint for Revolution
The founder of Otpor! — the Serbian youth movement that toppled Milosevic — lays out an operational handbook for nonviolent resistance, covering street theater, humor as tactical weapon, coalition-building under repression, and how to make oppression backfire. Used to train organizers from the Arab Spring onward.
Civil Resistance
Harvard's leading scholar of nonviolent resistance provides a data-driven overview of how civil resistance campaigns work, why they succeed or fail, and how state repression and counterprotest affect outcomes. Covers the Arab Spring, US movements, and the empirical evidence behind the '3.5% rule' threshold for movement success.
