On new mom gift idea

I just read an interesting book From Dictatorship to Democracy by Gene Sharp, an outline of how people can overturn dictatorship. Supposedly it and his other books have helped activists in the Arab world and the former Soviet block to overthrow dictatorships. Maybe Chinese dissidents are using it now. Maybe Iranian activists, because in a government propaganda video Gene Sharp is allegedly a CIA agent plotting with George Soros and John McCain in the White House. Sharp makes the interesting case that dictatorships must depend on the efforts of the people to run the country, and so can be removed if enough people stop cooperating. Getting the country to that point is the difficult part. It's not like coming up with a new mom gift idea. He advises democratic activists to formulate a long range plan specifically for their country.
