Taken from a series of lectures given by Foucault at the Collége de France in 1975-76, it reveals how war is the foundation of all power relations, and politics ultimately a continuation of battlefield violence. He offers a politically charged re-reading of history, with examples ranging from the Trojan myth to Nazi Germany, to show a continual, 'silent war' between the powerful and the powerless.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'A timely and prescient book, mainly because of what it says about the way in which war is necessary as a means of control' New Statesman\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by David Macey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241435168\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.1 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, French\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66568149958960,"sku":"Trans_9780241435168","price":493.88,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/81YU15HRHBL.jpg?v=1776706577","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/society-must-be-defended-lectures-at-the-college-de-france-1975-76","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
