Radicals, Revolutionaries, and Terrorists

"In this sweeping and powerful book, Beck provides an indispensable guide to how culture, ideology, and social organization combine to give rise to radicalism in terrorism and revolutions."
Jack A. Goldstone, George Mason University
 
"A succinct, punchy, well-written, and deeply analytical study on a topic of genuine contemporary significance, Radicals, Revolutionaries, and Terrorists is a powerful corrective to dominant understandings of why individuals become involved in radical, often violent, forms of political action and contestation. Through careful contextualization and synthesis of complementary theoretical and empirical perspectives, and without resort to essentialism or reductionism, the author provides a powerful critical lens for understanding much contemporary political violence. Highly recommended."
Richard Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand
