The Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century Protest by Brian Macarthur
Brought together in this anthology of original documents, speeches etc are some of the most striking and effective examples of protest through the century. The subjects range from the gravest matters of war and conflict through to personal cries of rage: Dennis Potter on the BBC, Robert Harris on 'the madness' of Mrs Thatcher, The McLibel campaigners on McDonald's. "A grand reminder of eloquent wars fought in the face of consensus... Mr MacArthur has chosen well" - Andrew O'Hagan, Guardian "Avivid and affecting portrait of struggles for change" - Robert Potts, Observer
