[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","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408826179927,"sku":"9781474410601","price":22.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781474410601.jpg?v=1730504352","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/blood-and-progress-9781474410601","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
