This book covers a long history of political practice and thought in the Western world that links freedom with violence, beginning with Athenian democracy and the Roman Republic and continuing through the era of revolutions and the rise of authoritarian regimes. This work is the first comprehensive examination of the idea that violence is necessary to obtain, defend, and exercise freedom. The book also discusses the alternative view of peaceful freedom that is present in the Western heritage and among its critics.
