In "Henry David Thoreau: Civil Disobedience," Derek Miller explores the life and philosophy of the iconic American transcendentalist. The book delves into Thoreau's influential essay advocating for individual resistance to unjust laws and government actions, particularly in response to slavery and the Mexican-American War. Through Thoreau's own experience of spending a night in jail for refusing to pay a poll tax, Miller illustrates the enduring relevance of Thoreau's ideas on morality, justice, and civil rights. The narrative emphasizes the profound impact of Thoreau's thoughts on nonviolent protest and individual conscience, inspiring generations to challenge systemic injustices.
