The Wise Minority
This is a book from the Vietnam Era in which Leon Friedman first provides some examples of civil disobedience and then focuses on draft protests of that time. The latter drags on a bit but my beef is more that such accounts need to provide negative examples -- it is circular to say this is moral when it promotes good. Guess ultimately it is a test of time thing.
