<br/><br/> By comparing radical violent religiously inspired terrorist groups from Jewish, Christian and Muslim backgrounds this book seeks to provide an economic explanation  why in some cases there is a transition from peace to violence. Also seeks to identify how a very small number of groups manage to achieve extraordinarily high levels of cohesion - suggests this is done by ensuring that members do not leave or defect.
