On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience was originally published in 1849 as Resistance to Civil Government. Thoreau wrote this classic essay to advocate public resistance to the laws and acts of government that he considered unjust. The practical application of Civil Disobedience was largely ignored until the twentieth century when, at different times, Modanda Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr. and anti-Vietnam War activists applied Thoreau's principles.Thoreau, Henry David is the author of 'On the Duty of Civil Disobedience ', published 2000 under ISBN 9781557094179 and ISBN 1557094179.
