Real-world examples of how concerned citizens *can* prevail

Not only that, each chapter is an exciting tale of activist suspense and pathos. There's even humor when we read how some corporate executives are so egomaniacal that they manage to make perfect jackasses out of themselves in an attempt to deflect attention from their corruption and hypocrisy. The emerging field of Internet activism is also covered. Another great activism book from Randy Shaw!
