"Midlarsky elegantly weaves insights from modern social psychology with macro-historical analysis to produce an original theory of the emergence of violent extremist movements. With its innovative theoretical framework and its command of an impressive range of historical evidence, this fascinating book will make a lasting impact on the literature on extremism and political violence." - Giovanni Capoccia, Professor of Comparative Politics, University of Oxford

"From Fascism to Communism to Radical Islam, from South Asia to the Balkans, and with insights from social psychology, history, philosophy, and more, this book is staggering in its breadth. Midlarsky makes a compelling case on how territorial loss can produce political extremism and mass killing. This is a book not just about the past, but what we might behold in the future." - Paul F. Diehl, Henning Larsen Professor of Political Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

"Rarely does the timing of a book's publication coincide so well with the relevance of its subject matter in the real world. In this age of extremes, Midlarsky's masterful volume carefully guides us through what motivates and drives people to political violence; highlighting - as only an experienced scholar can - the key unifying elements in otherwise disparate-seeming cases across time and space." - Monica Duffy Toft, Associate Professor of Public Policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University Political extremism is amongst the most destructive forms of human expression. During the 20th century over 100 million people lost their lives at the hands of extremist violence. This book provides a theory to explain the rise of multiple forms of political extremism and the resort to mass violence. MORE EBOOKS:
