Gene Sharp in Swedish press

Ulf sent me this:  "This might be a treat for you. Its from the website from our biggest tabloid.
Well. I havent really read the article, because you have to be a member to do that (to read exclusive articles), but this is what it is about:
Under the headline: "His words overthrows dictators."

"Millions of books are published every year. In Sweden about 25 000. Most of them means nothing to humanity. Some of the books are worthy of a reading, some of them sells a lot of copies and a few becomes classics.  But books that are changing the lives of millions of people are easy to count.
Gene Sharp, 84, has written one of these books." (Obviously my translation. Even though I should have added: Gene Sharp, 84, white of course, has written one of these books.)"
