Reviews / Votes
'Susanne Kapperler's The Will to Violence is elegant, tightly reasoned and both morally and intellectually challenging. It engages the reader in an argument about the nature of violence, choice and responsibility. No position Kappeler puts forth can be ignored'.Andrea Dworkin, The Times Higher Education Supplement
