"""This book is a major contribution to Collins’ influential theories of violence. It has a breadth and novelty of argument that can’t be found elsewhere."" -- Ralph Schroeder, Oxford University ""Collins offers a fresh and provocative perspective on the sociology of violence and grand theory."" --Elijah Anderson, Yale University ""Collins offers a way forward for sociology free of moralizing, doctrine, and prejudice that infects the work of others. Although instructors of a very wide range of courses teach Collins’s many books, this book is clearly a great choice for courses on sociological theory, historical sociology, political sociology, sociology of violence and conflict, and courses on public order/crowds/movements."" --Anthony King, University of Warwick"
