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 Germany, to show a continual, 'silent war' between the powerful and the powerless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A timely and prescient book, mainly because of what it says about the way in which war is necessary as a means of control' \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eNew Statesman\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated by David Macey\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Read Room","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":59470287929630,"sku":null,"price":440.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":59470287962398,"sku":null,"price":560.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true},{"title":"eBook","offer_id":59470287995166,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"BDT","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1076\/7515\/6766\/files\/81YU15HRHBL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781632832","url":"https:\/\/www.readroombd.com\/products\/society-must-be-defended-book-by-michel-foucault","provider":"Read Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
