'Foucault must be reckoned with by humanists, social scientists,
and political activists' The New York Times Book Review Society
Must Be Defended is Michel Foucault's devastating critique of the
systems of power and control inherent in civilization. Taken from a
series of lectures given by Foucault at the College 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.
'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 Translated by David Macey
