About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. This text traces the origins of a faith - modern revolutionaries are believers, no less committed and intense than were Christians or Muslims of an earlier era. What is different is the belief that a perfect secular order will emerge from forcible overthrow of traditional authority.
Synopsis
Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith is a book by James H. Billington, the current Librarian of Congress. The book takes its name from Dostoevsky's The Possessed, a book about pre-revolutionary Russia and a secret society of Nihilists. The book is James Billington's account of the different groups that existed in Russia at that time and caused the revolution, with a specific focus on the secret societies involved.
