About This Item
Time Reading Program Special Edition. Used book may have markings, writing from the previous owner. Some bumping, rubbing, little tears on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer page edges with tanning, browning, stains and foxing. On back cover a little piece is missing from outer edge. Front cover has been taped on the outside to spine and back cover. No loose pages through out book. The book examines the motives of the various types of personalities that give rise to mass movements; why and how mass movements start, progress and end; and the similarities between them, whether religious, political, radical or reactionary, refering to Communism, Fascism, National Socialism (Nazi), Christianity, Protestantism, and Islam throughout the text. In analyzing these mass movements, Hoffer believes that they are all interchangeable, that adherents will often flip from one movement to another, and that the motivations for mass movements are interchangeable; that religious, nationalist and social movements, whether radical or reactionary, tend to attract the same type of followers, behave in the same way and use the same tactics, even when their stated goals or values differed.
