Civil Disobedience
£1.50
Thoreau’s classic text on sticking it (albeit relatively politely) to *the man*. 2006 printing, large print, paperback.
Description
First published in 1849. In it, Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican–American War.
