Opis

This book shows that attempts to repress religion produce the very violent religious extremism that states seek to avoid.

Recenzje

'The argument displays a mastery of the research literature, is very clearly and systematically delivered, and is fairly original - at least in its scope. Everyone with an interest in terrorism should read this book.' Lorne L. Dawson, Political Science Quarterly
