The violent potential of fundamentalism grips the imagination of all thoughtful observers. The Fundamentalist Mindset explores the theoretical foundations of contemporary and historic forms of religious, political, and social extremism. But the book is more than theory. It examines fundamentalism in contexts as varied as the American experience, Al-Qaeda, the French Revolution, and the Nazis.
