Recensioner i media

“This book is a valuable addition to the literature on labour history, industrial relations, and public order policing, especially for Australian readers. … Situated at the crossroads between these three subfields, it offers a very accessible introduction for undergraduate and postgraduate students, while extending to scholars an intriguing invitation to think more carefully about the conditions under which the police resort to violence against strikers and protesters.” (Raul A. Sanchez Urribarri, Labour History, Issue 111, November, 2016)
