Millennial Violence Past, Present, and Future

Part two contains key texts, including the Megiddo report from the US, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Report on Doomsday Religious Cults and an English translation of the Israeli report on millennial violence. Part three forms the heart of the text, featuring articles from US, European and Israeli scholars which focus on the lessons to be learned from the various reports. It also details interaction between scholars and the security services in regard to the threat of millennial violence/terrorism and the global and regional perspectives that surround it.Kaplan, Jeffrey is the author of 'Millennial Violence Past, Present, and Future' with ISBN 9780714652948 and ISBN 0714652946.
