Review by Brian Lamb, author of The Good Campaigns Guide:"Jonathan Ellis is one of the voluntary sector's leading campaigners and an experienced trainer and facilitator who has worked in settings across the world. In this short but extremely helpful book he has managed to translate his inspirational style of talking about campaigning onto the page. He lays out the fundamentals of campaigning in an accessible and engaging way. His twelve simple steps are an excellent way of cutting into the ever more complex challenges of campaigning and will help any campaigner achieve clarity and be able to progress their work. But don't be fooled by the accessibility of this text into thinking it is just for those with little campaigning experience. There are fundamental insights here that we all need reminding of and examples to learn from. The book's lessons, gleaned from the UK and international experience, also mean that unusually it has broad applicability whatever type of campaign or whatever the context or country you are working in. Essential reading for all who aspire to change the world."
