About this audiobook

Does a person owe obedience to the laws of a government they believe is wrong? Henry David Thoreau says no, and in this famous essay he explains why. A man's duty is to do what he thinks right, and to refuse to help an unjust state. Thoreau wrote it after a night in jail for refusing to pay a tax, and it later guided people like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. Read by Marcus Locke, in about an hour. For readers who want to hear one of America's great arguments in its own words.
