Martyrdom and Terrorism: Pre-Modern to Contemporary Perspectives
Dominic Janes
This pioneering collection of essays explores the intertwined histories of martyrdom and terrorism from antiquity to the twenty-first century. Christian and Islamic traditions of moral witness and debate over the justified use of militant sacrifice are situated in relation to the development of Western nationalism, with a particular focus on the French Revolution and imperialism.
