A major comparative analysis of fundamentalist movements in historical and cultural context, spanning revolutionary France, America and Japan, with an emphasis on the contemporary scene. The central theme is the Jacobin nature of modern fundamentalist movements, with their ambivalence towards tradition and the surprisingly progressive role they sometimes play.
