Why is liberalism so obsessed with waste?  Is there a drone flying above you right now? Are you living in a no-fly zone? What is the role of masculinity in the ‘war on terror’? And why do so many liberals say they love peace while finding new ways to justify slaughter in the name of security? In this, the first book to deal with the concepts of war power and police power together, Mark Neocleous deals with these questions and many more by using critical theory to radically rethink power. The result is a compelling book that articulates a vision of war/police power beyond the institutions of military and the police.
