". . . a tour de force of the collective action research agenda
with regards to the study of dissent, rebellion, and revolution.
His book is monumental and pivotal. . . . [It] consolidates over
three decades of research on collective action problems and sets
the agenda for future studies of collective dissent and rebellion.
. . . The Rebel's Dilemma is an invaluable work. Lichbach brings
together various strands of CA research in a comprehensive effort
to show what has been accomplished in the field and then defines a
convincing research agenda for the future. . . . [This] book is a
major step forward. It will have an enormous impact in the field of
conflict studies and belongs on the shelf of anyone even casually
interested in dissent, rebellion, and revolution. . . . Ultimately,
the truest measure of value of a scholarly work is the degree to
which it stimulates the reader's own intellectual development. The
Rebel's Dilemma has provided me with more food for thought than any
book I have encountered in recent years. I anxiously await
Lichbach's companion volume, The Cooperator's Dilemma."
