J. Rinehart - Apocalyptic Faith and Political Violence: Prophets of Terror
1960 | ISBN: 1403974616 | English | 226 pages | PDF | 0.9 MB

This study examines the functional relationship between millenarian-inspired terrorism and the process of political change. Through an exhaustive investigation of late Twentieth-century movements, Aum Shinrikyo, Sendero Luminoso and Hezbollah, it concludes that in each case, apocalyptic expectations performed a significant group mobilization, leadership and therapeutic function.
