商品簡介
A provocative thesis by a Johns Hopkins University professor and author of How the Jews Defeated Hitler argues that violence is an unavoidable driving force of war, politics and social stability, citing Walter Benjamin's theories about "law-preserving violence" as tool of social order and change while exploring the violent tactics of non-violent groups.
