'The Abolition of Liberty' by Peter Hitchens
A study of 'The Decline of Order and Justice in England'
The wicked, the selfish and the violent, are - according to Peter Hitchens - freer from restraint than they have ever been since the age of Charles Dickens. In this brilliantly argued book, Hitchens warns that our current approaches to law and order threaten the personal freedoms of the peaceable majority, while failing to reduce crime. This country, he argues, must choose between the supposed human rights of wrongdoers and the liberty of all. His powerful and counter-intuitive conclusions make challenging - and essential - reading for both those on the Left and Right.

'Peter Hitchens remains one of the most misrepresented figures in the British media... he is in reality one of the most thought provoking and intelligent commentators on life in contempary Britian.' - Neil Clark, Spectator.
'Hitchens has given us a book of scorching fury, with indignation and anger pulsing behind every word... This is the best kind of polemical attack: sharp and worrying, exciting and disturbing' - Brian Masters, Daily Mail
