Apocalyptic Faith and Political Violence: Prophets of Terror

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 ian 2011

This study examines the functional relationship between millenarian-inspired terrorism and the process of political change.

Recenzii

'James Rinehart's important and original analysis of three terrorist movements - Sendero Luminoso, Aum Shinrikyo, and Hezbollah - demonstrate their profound links to deeply embedded currents of millenarian religion and culture. This is a work of rich scholarship that will challenge and stimulate students of terrorism and political violence.' - Michael Barkun, Professor of Political Science, the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, USA
