'Fightback' - new book of eye witness accounts of recent protests

Andreas Whittam Smith: 'Protests can't just be dismissed as 'student politics'. He argues that social media make possible a grassroots democracy that has never been available before. Its power is very great and politicians haven't yet understood the changes - or the links between kettling - and the responses of repressive regimes to recent democratic revolutions driven by young people elsewhere.
