Book Synopsis
How do we decide when violence in pursuit of emancipation is legitimate and what form - if any - should it take? Nick Hewlett places the goal of a wholly peaceful society centre-stage to give us a new understanding of violence in the pursuit of peace.

Trade Review
'Nick Hewlett’s Blood and Progress constitutes an engaging meditation on the paradox of violence for the sake of peace. [It] is part of a growing literature which acknowledges the regrettable necessity of constrained violence in some cases for progressive social change... The dominant view that positive social change necessarily stems from non-violent struggle does a disservice to the reality of history. Blood and Progress is not only an important corrective to such a view but also an informed guide on the way forward.' - Guy Lancaster, Political Studies Review
