    "This book sets out to examine the long and often mysterious ascent from force to authority. The investiture we are discussing was once manifested by strange yet visible symbols—cloaks, scepters, crowns, and diadems—which made it apparent and fixed it firmly in the hearts and imaginations of men. Nowadays, even when they have not been deliberately abolished, these symbols have almost completely disappeared. But this does not make it any less necessary to try to answer that question which keeps recurring: what can possibly transform force into right, fear into respect, coercion into consent, necessity into freedom?" (p. 14).
