“Sharp is perhaps the most influential proponent of nonviolent action alive. He stresses the practical utility of nonviolence, de-emphasizing its moral aspects. His work has served as a how-to manual for activists in a swath of countries across Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East. His intellectual contribution to the Egyptian movement is further proof of his remarkable global impact.” — The Progressive Magazine. http://www.progressive.org/ap021711.html
