Drawing on the dynamics of apocalyptic movements, Landes looks at the turn of the millennium in terms of a radical mismatch between two millennial styles, an Islamist pre-modern (Caliphators) and a Western post-modern (Woke). Due to a striking cognitive failure, Westerners could neither see nor discuss the foe they faced, and repeatedly, convinced they were bending the arc of history towards justice, took sharp wrong turns.

Professor Richard Landes was trained as a medievalist and taught in the Boston University History Department. He is now an independent historian living in Jerusalem. His work focuses on apocalyptic beliefs at the the turn of the first millennium (the Peace of God) and the second millennium (Global Jihad, Woke).
