"Anybody researching or writing anything about contemporary U.S. political life should be familiar with "The Activist's Handbook." Anybody attempting to influence local, state, or national political decisions needs it desperately. Politicians may read it and tremble a bit.

A must read."--Barbara Dudley, Executive Director, Greenpeace "This is a unique book, wise, realistic, and enormously valuable for anyone interested in social change. It is practical in its advice, and inspiring in its stories of ordinary people successfully confronting powerful interests."--Howard Zinn, author of "A People's History of the United States" ""The Activist's Handbook" could not have come at a more opportune time. In an era when poverty is growing and national social programs are threatened, the Handbook is an invaluable tool for community groups wishing to mobilize efforts in the service of escalating human needs."--Ben Bagdikian, author of "The Media Monopoly and Double Vision" "Randy Shaw gives us a serious and respectful treatment of the strategic problems and opportunities that confront grassroots activists.

It is the kind of book that should be on every activist's reading list."--Chris Ney, Nonviolent activist
