Living quietly in Boston, Gene Sharp has had broad international influence over the last twenty years through his books and pamplets aimed at overthrowing authoritarian regimes through nonviolent resistance: Written in 1993, his 90-page pamplet “From Dictatorship to Democracy” has had the most influence, but he also wrote a 902-page “Politics of Nonviolent Action” in 1973, and co-authored a booklet, “The Anti-Coup”. Gene’s writings have had an impact in Burma, Georgia, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Serbia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.
