Blood & Rage: A Cultural History Of Terrorism By Michael Burleigh

Posted at 3:00PM Wednesday 19 Mar 2008



Blood & Rage: A Cultural History Of
Terrorism By Michael Burleigh
ISBN: 9780007241279

Michael Burleigh's histories of the relationship between politics and religion, Earthly Powers and Sacred Causes, were among the most acclaimed books of 2005 and 2006, according to the dustjacket of his latest offering. In it, he defines terrorism as "a tactic primarily used by non-state actors ... to create a psychological climate of fear in order to compensate for the legitimate political power they do not possess"
