9798880909155: On the Duty of Civil Disobedience

Synopsis

Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their 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 but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent today as when they were first written. A true American classic.
