Killing Is Murder

Killing Is Murder: Or An Answer To A Treasonous Pamphlet Entitled, Killing Is No Murder (1657) is a historical book written by Michael Hawke. The book is a response to a pamphlet that was published during the English Civil War, which argued that killing a tyrant was not a crime but an act of justice. Hawke's book provides a counter-argument, stating that killing is always a crime, regardless of the circumstances. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a historical context for the pamphlet and the events leading up to its publication. It discusses the political climate of the time and the different factions that were vying for power. The second part of the book is a detailed analysis of the pamphlet itself. Hawke critiques the arguments put forth by the author and provides a logical and moral rebuttal to each one.
