Synopsis

Beginning in Tunisia and spreading across the Middle East and North Africa, everyday citizens stepped into the streets, staking their claim to a democratic future. The image of these protests captured the imagination of the world. Revolution by Love takes you inside these protests, onto those streets, and shares with you the stories of the individuals who made this historic moment possible. The book's contributors bear witness to the bravery of Libyans who faced down troops as they secured satellite technology to share with the world what was happening in Tripoli; the courage of doctors, facing gunfire, as they treated patients in Bahrain; and the everyday struggles of families in Gaza. At each moment, within every story shared, there is also a continual return to the love shared with friends and within families - a love that served as the foundation for the protests that changed the world.
