He's a complex figure, to put it mildly, and his methods don't seem to work all that reliably against Western interests. They might not actually work on their own, except as a component of hybrid war.
Well that puts to bed any notion that this fellow was an agent of peace with justice. Justice is a word that he seemed to eschew. I previously linked his name with Gandhi and MLK, but unlike them, Sharp was almost totally disinterested in the net effect of the strategies he promoted. As this comprehensive biography makes clear, a straight line exists from his efforts to our present oligarchic reality.
