Rezensionen

This dark, enthralling book not only documents the global rise of religious terrorism but seeks to understand the odd attraction of religion and violence' . . . Juergensmeyer is a powerful, skillful writer whose deeply empathic interviewing techniques allow readers to enter the minds of some of the late twentieth century's most feared religious terrorists."-Publishers Weekly
