Book Reviews of Religious Violence in Contemporary Japan: The Case of Aum Shinrikyo
Book Review: An Extraordinary book
Summary: 5 Stars
It seems that most books about the Aum Shinrikyou concentrate on the gas attacks of March 20, 1995. Of course this is extraodinarily important, but it is only a small piece of the puzzle because Aum Shinrikyou and its founder Asahara Shoko are much more complex. Reader gives the reader a very detailed look into the early days of Aum and its 's founding by Asahara, and he gives detailed entires of Asahara's sermons giving a step by steo analysis of how Aum went from a yoga group to one bent on the destruction of the world. A wonderful book that peels back many of the mysteries of Aum.
